Silkscreen Box Design
Thought for 1 min 3 sec
Here’s what the Flux documentation says about adding a silkscreen rectangle:
"To add a silkscreen element:
- Left-click on the Layout object in the objects tree to ensure it's selected
- Right-click > Add > Silk Line / Silk Circle / Silk Rectangle
A silk text is a particular kind of silkscreen that lets you add text to your PCB.
A silk line is a line that stretches between two specified points. You can use a line path rule for any desired curves.
A silk circle is a circle with a specified origin and diameter.
A silk rectangle stretches between two specified points.
The stroke length, spacing, style, width, and width of these three silk elements can all be modified using the appropriate rules."

Want me to walk you through setting the two points so the rectangle is exactly 33 mm by 20 mm?

I could not find documentation describing a way to set an exact 33 mm by 20 mm size for a silkscreen rectangle. This likely means the feature is not available in Flux documentation. You can browse or ask here:
Ask about board outline
Clarify rectangle type
Ask about coordinate input
Ask about alternative shapes
Ask about units setting
