oval hole in eagle

Former Member

I am making a usb type A-B library device. Attachment is the link to the datasheet. I need to make 2 oval holes but I cannot figure out how to do it. I can only use the round and square pad. Do you have any suggestion of how to do this? Thank you so much.

    Some of these datasheets are written by engineers who, sadly, have never

    stepped inside a machine shop in their lives. The fastest way to drill an

    oval hole is to chuck up a round drill bit in a hand drill and drill the

    hole yourself. For PCBs, the vast majority of 'oval holes' in Recommended

    PCB Layouts can simply be replaced with round holes of the same diameter as

    the major axis of the oval, at far less cost than milling an oval hole.

    Something to consider.
