While experimenting with it i discovered that paste margin behaves very strange when creating a ring like pad from a circle primitive plus a circular anchor.
Positive paste margin setting results in the hole being ignored (paste looks like the outer diameter of the ring represented a circular pad)
A negative clearance does not result in a ring like paste layer but in an arc.
I am currently creating a python abstraction for ring pads similar to the ones needed for these parts: https:/ /katalog. we-online. de/em/datasheet /9776100960. pdf

Additional note: One can not see paste with the default color settings (as it has the same color as copper) i therefor used this one: https:/ /github. com/pointhi/ kicad-color- schemes/ tree/master/ blue-green- dark (One of the main goals of it was to make footprint development easier)
