Very often you will find slots in connector footprint (e.g. Ethernet footprint can use slots to solder down Shield pins - the shield pins are from thin metal, so the pins are very thin but wide). Or power jack uses slots instead of regular holes to solder down the pins - again very often pins of power jacks are thin but wide: https://www.cui.com/product/resource/pj-002ah.pdf

We create all the symbols and footprints in our company.
There are services like SnapEDA ( https://www.snapeda.com/ ) or Ultra librarian ( https://www.ultralibrarian.com/ ) where you can download symbols and footprints. If you use Digikey to buy your components, some of the components already have links to these companies to download symbol and footprint for that components.
Also, when you install OrCAD, I think there are some libraries, try to have a look here: \Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\capture\library\ and d:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\share\pcb\pcb_lib\symbols\ but as I said, I do not really use it.

Actually downloaded some footprints from some websites and then used in layout. But those didn’t have soldermask and while sending for manufacturing..some soldermask relief is needed.. when I add soldermask ..it seems to be getting rectified.. I will catch on it if it repeats..Thanks
