I have a footprint that has some rather large, rectangular pads. The pads are connected to some templates with 12 spokes each. Setting the Orthogonal Spokes feature in DFM/DFT Rules doesn't make a difference – the spokes are still angled towards the center of the pads. See attached screen shot.
What could be the reason for this?

Delete the attribute rule and create it again. That's it.
Thank you, Steve!

Yes, the thermals have the attribute StrongThermal – in order to give them 12 spokes. The attribute doesn't have a value, though. But as far as I know, a value shouldn't be necessary. Should I send some more details, or do you want the whole design?
Btw, the pad is a 95 × 133 thou rectangle, with a 32 × 70 thou oval hole.

Can I assume that you have placed the attribute on the pads? I have created a test piece myself with a large pad, not sure the details of your pad, and it behaves as I would expect, using settings like those shown in your picture.
