Re: gEDA-user: Board fabrication -- outline

["phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stefan,

A quick way to get results is to manually "draw" the board outline on an 
empty layer you rename "outline":

This is inelegant, but quick error-free.  It requires absolutely no 
programming.  If "outline" doesn't sound like a good name to your 
vendor, you can easily change it.

Layer(7 "outline")
(
	Line[100000 300000 100000 100000 1000 2000 0x00000004]
	Line[400000 100000 400000 300000 1000 2000 0x00000004]
	Line[400000 300000 100000 300000 1000 2000 0x00000004]
	Line[100000 100000 400000 100000 1000 2000 0x00000004]
)

In Gerbv, you'll be able to load a layer with just these four lines. 
It's probably good if the corners hit exactly the same point so as not 
to confuse your board-house's software.
