Title: flex pad auto fillet/taper?

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to get this kind of pad reinforcement (the triangle taper to the wire) to be made when I connect a wire to a pad in pcbnew. I'm having problems with the joints fracturing on my flex circuits because the join is so weak. I know this can be done in Altium, is there any way to do it in KiCad automatically?
