How to Add Circular Board Cutout Area

$

I'm using Orcad PCB Editor and despite completing some training I'm still having a hard time adjusting (maybe because I'm a long-time Altium user). Basically I am designing a probe card. From the basic probe card shape (let's just imagine a rectangular PCB), I wanted to add circular board cutouts (1. for the area where the probe tips are mounted, and 2. for the finger hole). I need help in systematically doing this.

All I have in my limited Orcad mind is simply adding a package with one gigantic circular padstack (unplated with large drill hole). I don't think this is the right way. If this was Altium I can simply create a simple circular outline then convert this into a board cutout. I know this is a simple question for some people but if you are willing to share your knowledge I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
