High Voltage Footprints with PCB Cutouts

I have a couple of surface mount high voltage parts that require a cutout in the PCB below them. I have found two methods to deal with this, since the footprint editor won’t allow drawing on Edge.Cuts: Draw the cutout on Eco1.User (or something valid), save, then manually edit the .kicad_mod file to change the Eco1.User lines to Edge.Cuts Draw the cutout on Eco1.User (or something valid) with a note, and draw over it in pcbnew in the Edge.Cuts layer after it’s placed. Method 1 makes fu…
