Export Cutout to drill files

I used dxf file as input for defining the Board Geometry> Design Outline and Board Geometry> Cutout. As there are some circles and slots inside PCB.

I normally exported Gerber file(.art) for Design Outline. But i want to export Drill files which will show these cutouts as circles and slots of certain diameters.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I am looking for some suggestions which do not involve making a padstack/ footprint for these cutouts and importing into the board file.

Try drawing the actual route path on Board_Geometry/NCRoute_path, you can add text to this layer to define the direction as well. Once it's all setup you can export this information as part of the NC Route data (Export - NC Route or Manufacture - NC - NC Route). Take a look at this How to design and output slots in PCB Editor (parallel-systems.co.uk) there is a note about this on the final page of the app note.
