adding vias to a part (symbol)

Hi

I'm new to OrCAD and have only done one design so far but I'm trying to figure out how to stick vias into a thermal pad.  I have a QFN design from a friend and I can't tell if he did it as well but I've seen the board it created and he's got tented vias in the thermal pad and I can see from the design files that he's got the solder mask in a pattern and paste mask in a pattern so there's a clear place where the vias go but I don't see them on the package when I open it for edit.  Is there a way to do this or is it done when you're creating the board or was it somehow included into the package pin but I'm not seeing it when I open up the padstack editor?

Thanks
