[SOLVED] How to create a rectangular hole in pcb?

Layout
1

I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.

Hello,
I need to make a rectangular hole 66mmx24mm in my pcb and I don’t find how to do it. Is someone can help me ?
Thanks for all.

Use edge.cut and draw a rectangle within the main outline

Please be advised such things are done with routing bits so it will be a rounded rectangle so it would be best to design for this (ie do a rounded rectangle)

This.
If you need a hole for something 100% rectangular, the simplest solution is using “Mickey Mouse ears” in the corners.
Laser cutting might be an option, but will cost you.

Those are more commonly known by the term “Dog Bones”.

New to me, but nice.
I’ll add it to my vocabulary.

Just compare the results of these two image searches:
(Writing “dogbone” as one word improves search results a lot).
