I know aspire has a keyhole maker in the little add on section does v-carve have that is where the Celtic knot creator is … that’s what I’ve been using .
Edit : there called gadgets
Here’s the link
Lowes or home depot
Peter Pasuello has gcode and an article that talks about Keyholes
Maybe this could be of use:

There is a function to automatically remove line numbers. Or, add if you wish plus several other neat features.
Successfully exported gcode from Easel, manipulated the file and imported. I did not run a test carve but it imports just fine.

A big shout out to you Phil. Thank you for posting this key hole g code. I have never done anything like this at all using g code. You made it so easy. I just made a copy of the file. Zoomed in to determine the direction of the hole and followed Easel instructions to carve. Not ever having done this I did a test carve with a small piece of foam. It worked perfectly!!
