How to use a not normal shape as layout

Hi all, I need to create a NOT normal shape of layout, like the attached one. I can import the file in dxf or jpg format. Is it possible to import it to Kicad and to use it?

My best regards in advance for your precious support

Yes.
I have done it in KiCad V5 and not tried in KiCad V6.
Try in PCB Editor : File-Import-Graphics…
Dialog box is titled “Import Vector Graphics File” but I’m not sure if it is to import any vector graphic file, but DXF it should import.

yes, dxf-files can be imported. But be aware that Kicad doesn’t support all dxf-features/objects. If you are having trouble at import-time try to save as an older dxf-file (dxf-R12 has always worked for me).
