D.G. acknowledges RYC-2012-09864.<br />Smectic order has been generated in superconducting Nb films with two-fold symmetry arrays of symmetric pinning centers. Magnetic fields applied perpendicularly to the films develop a vortex matter smectic phase that is easily detected when the vortices are commensurate with the pinning center array. The smectic phase can be turned on and off with external parameters.<br />Spanish MINECO<br />Comunidad de Madrid<br />EU COST Action<br />Depto. de Física de Materiales<br />Fac. de Ciencias Físicas<br />TRUE<br />pub
