Arcs aren't allowed in footprints. You can overlay rectangular pads along an arc if you need to. The footprint I use for fiducials is below. The request from the assembly house was 1mm pad with 3mm clearance. The board that assembled my last board did not mention any problems (and the board

I am trying to place down some fiducials with a 40mil round copper center with 88mills of clearance (from the center of the fiducial) and 80 mils of solder mask. I am doing it by using the following command inside my footprint file. Pad [-13188 -15000 -13188 -15000 4000 4800
