Determining user needs.

Analyzing mounting hole specifications.

Guiding with help resources.

Clarifying component linking rules.

Reading docs about How to add a large mechanical hole or board cutout in the PCB layout, e.g., a 20 mm diameter hole. Include steps for placing a mounting hole footprint, setting non-plated vs plated, and editing drill diameter. Also cover how to create a circular board cutout if needed..

Reading docs about How to set the hole drill diameter for a pad or hole in the PCB editor (e.g., making the hole size 20 mm). Where to find and change drill size in the toolbar or inspector..

Asking for clarification.

Here’s what the Flux documentation says about adding a hole and setting its size:
“Adding a Standalone Hole
You might want to add a hole that isn't associated with any net. This done just like adding a standalone pad:
From the PCB canvas:
  1. Right click the PCB canvas to trigger the Context Menu.
  2. Hover over Add in the Context Menu to reveal a submenu.
  3. Click Pad in the submenu.
  4. In the toolbar which shows up above the pad on the canvas, click Pad Type. (Look for the square icon.)
  5. Select HOLE.”
“Configuring a Pad
Configure a Pad using the Toolbar
Configuring a pad is easy with the toolbar. When a pad is selected on PCB, a toolbar shows up above it on the canvas. From there, you can change its position, size, pad type, pad shape, and hole size.”
