Default Zinc Plating the Inside of an Ashtray

Having problems getting the inside of an auto ashtray plated with zinc, using Copy Cad. The size of the ashtray is roughly 1" wide, 3" long and 2" deep. What can I do to get the plating inside the ashtray?

You will have to make an anode that will fit down inside the ashtray that is about 1/2" away from all the sides and bottom. Wire the auxiliary anode to the other anodes in the tank and it should throw alot better.
