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?

         I should also mention I still use board geometry/outline to show the outline of the board for layout of the board, that way I can turn off the board geometry/assembly layer to unclutter the screen. 

         I show all the cutouts, scoring, panel layout and the outline on the board geometry/assembly.  One more note...the board house we use usually used a 3/32 router bit, so I usually draw the routes using a line width of 94mils and give them x,y cords.  This way it is a visual view of what they will be routing.

     Have a great weekend,
