In Allegro, pad naming should follow the principle of assigning the larger value to the X-axis and the smaller value to the Y-axis.

example：
r20_40 and r40_20 refer to the same pad.

It is recommended to create the pad using the r40_20 orientation.
This effectively reduces the number of potentially duplicate pad sizes.
