?? OK, I'm still under-caffeinated, but I don't parse your question. 
I'm guessing you missed my initial rant?  What I was trying to do is 
create an oblong pin to ease hand soldering.  So I created a pad 
overlapping a pin to create the desired shape.  The whole effort 
foundered because pcb won't create thermals on the resulting oblong pins 
-- pcb give the pin a thermal flag, but the thermal doesn't render 
because of the overlapping pad.
