Error importing oblong drill holes in emn and emp file generated from allegro

I have a problem with emn and emp file (from Allegro PCB design software) generation. In the PCB file an oblong round hole is defined but in the emn file imported into Creo 2.0 its displayed as a circular hole instead of a oblong hole.

Further to this the oblong hole made in Expedition PCB design tool and imported into Creo the oblong drill is generated perfectly.

Please provide a solution ASAP.

"Obround" holes like you show are not "drilled" or "drill" holes, because drills are not side-cutting tools. Any obround slot must be routered, and is generally done as a "cut" in Pro/E.
