How to make this drill pattern in Eagle

[kkbb]

Hello All,

  Attached is a land pattern from a data sheet (https://www.hirose.com/product/en/download_file/key_name/IX61G-A-10P/category/Catalog/doc_file_id/144096/?file_category_id=5&item_id=02510021000&is_series=)

  What does "4XR0.5" mean?
  How do I go about making a square hole with rounded corners?

 Thanks.

All "square" holes on a PCB will automatically have rounded corners, because they'll use a spinning router bit to mill the slot.

You can specify slots with 0-width lines on the Milling layer. You can leave the corners square or round them, but either way the corners will still be rounded. If they're located completely inside an area of top and bottom copper, most PCB services will know that it is a plated slot. I can confirm that both OSH Park and DirtyPCBs correctly interpret and produce oddly shaped internal plated slots.

Thanks.
What does "4XR0.5" mean though?
Does it mean a 1mm dia placed 4 times. at the corners of a rectangle?

In this case it means that the four corners of that hole have a radius of 0.5mm.

Final question
Why are there two holes (one within another)?
For example, the '4xR0.3' seems nested within the '4xR0.6' .
Does not make much sense to me

The 0.3mm radius is for the corner of the hole.
The 0.6mm radius is for the corner of the annular ring (the outer shape of the copper area around the hole).

And you should be careful of this fact when ordering prototype boards, as some board houses may not be flexible on milling bit size.

I've used one company who specifies all milling for their prototype service is done with a 2mm bit, which means the best inside corner radius you can get is 1mm. That may or may not be suitable for the component you are trying to place.

Almost right. The 0.6mm radius is the outline of the crossed out "Outline forbidden Area".
The pads themselves or their outline are not shown on the drawing.

It's a land pattern. Zoom in and follow the arrow. The pads are shown including their outline.
