hi, please help me to create an irregular shape hole, Thanks
 

1) Close your eyes, then take a knife a wave it around wildly.
2) Take some acid and throw it at the surface in which you'd like an irregular hole.
3) Buy a chimpanzee and give him a hammer.
4) Maybe tell us what software you are using...
 
It would have to be routed out if it was in a PCB, which I presume it is as you are in this section.

5) Take 3 regular shapes and stick them together to make an irregular shape.
6) Make a regular shapes and knock it about a bit to make it irregular.
7) See #4 and we can help you - really we can
 

Tank you, my problem solved by attaching regular holes together. The software was Altium Designer.
 

Wow, he used #5 and it worked! Sarcasm to the rescue! Good job, Mattylad.
 
Somehow I have the feeling that the board manufacture will go "eek!"
 

The DRC will hopefully warn of a possible drill break, then it can be changed to routed out.
