To add holes to free-form shapes...

Use one of the free-form digitizing tools to create your shape. Simply follow the prompts to add holes as you digitize. Alternatively, select the final object and click the associated free-shape tool. Points display around the object outline.

Digitize additional holes making sure they do not overlap. Press Enter each time.
