How to Create Custom holes in PCB Board design

Gopintj1

Hi, I have been developing a simple PCB board which contains a PIR sensor, an LDR and some other discrete components along with MSP430G2231. I have done outlines for my board according to its dimension. Now, i would like to cut some part in middle of the board. Is it possible to do this, cos, i have seen some board in which part in middle of the board is cut. 

Can anyone help me with this?

    An alternative method is to just draw it on Board Geometry  / Outline layer. You can include fillets or chamfers on the corners using Manufacture - Drafting - Fillet. You can use zcopy to add a route keepout,

    You can also output this info as a ncroute file for the manufacturer. Take a look at :- http://www.parallel-systems.co.uk/images/PDF/slots_pcb_editor.pdf for more details.
