Wow, you're fast to reply :-). Ok, thanks, I'll look into that...
actually I thought that PCB always had very nice defaults that PCB fabs
accept in general. I have experience in a different package *couch PADS*
with CAM jobs and I always find it a pain to set a proper one up that
fills my needs. OTOH a CAM job manager which installs with sensible
defaults would be very nice. Until that day a few extra checkboxes in the
export dialogs would work too (i.e. for your issue to draw outlines on
the soldermask).

Kind regards,

Hans
