Rene Poeschl (poeschlr) wrote : Custom pad with cirle primitive behaves strangely in compination with paste margin

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

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.

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)
