Can a cutout be added to a footprint?

pdxbtw

I'm new to PCB editor and I need to make a footprint for an RF connector that sits into a cutout on the edge of the board (and is edge plated around the cutout, ideally). I have to place more than a dozen of these connectors and I would like a way of easily moving them if I need to. Is there a way to add a cutout to a footprint so that I only have to place one object?

    Yes - Draw the cut-out on Board Geometry / Outline, add keepouts s required. Then place in the board. You'll have to draw your actual board outline using lines to "fill in" the gaps between the connectors but there's no issue with this.
