How to make a slot into a PCB

Hi, 

designing a daughter board in which a slot is needed to make an slot to save large components on the main board.

The daughter board has a dimensions of 5x5mm and the daughter board need a slot of 1x1mm.

Starting the design, I placed the board outline, route keepin... and for not having troubles in future routing, I would like to add the hole now.

How can I draw/place this slot?

  • Do I need to draw a board outline shape inside the current shape?
  • Do I need to create a new layer with different parameters?
  • Would it be better to define a new padstack with slot dimensions, and then a mechanical symbol with this padstack?

If there is another better way to perform this action, it would be welcome.

KR!
