    Hi Charles,

     

    non-circular holes usually will be milled in the production process

    and have to be drawn manually in EAGLE. The contour of the "hole"

    should be drawn with a very fine width (e.g. with the WIRE command)

    in a special layer. EAGLE uses layer 46, Milling, for this. Be sure

    to inform the board manufacturer that there are milling contours in

    this layer. In case you create manufacturing data by yourself, add

    one Gerber file that contains layer 46.
