The Assembly 'Polarity Dot' only appears in 'Polarized' components. 

i.e.: there is no Polarity Dots on Resistors or Non-Polarized Capacitors or Inductors.

TH Axial parts display a line (as shown) instead of a dot by pin1, plus an optional square pin.

We're adding a Chamfer or Dot to polarized Axial Lead footprints in the next release.
