That¡¯s right Art, you can draw the outline on the milling layer. You can also use the dash-dot, dash-dash, etc lines to make cutouts with retainer tabs.?
I think it¡¯s in the manual somewhere.?

Hi,
IF I remember correctly, the board outline is shown on the Dimension
layer (Layer 20) and you have to include it in one of your of your
cuts (if your doing multi layer boards)
Holes on Layer 45.? However it has been a long time for me doing one
and I believe I did my own thing and drew them on the milling layer

How do I get the board outline to be cut out?? The isolation
spaces seem to work fine, and the holes get marked, but the
outline doesn't show up and the mounting holes don't seem to get
cut either.? I'm only using a bottom layer for single layer
boards, and I'm using the etch.tap file.? Does the border and
holes show up in another one of the tap files??
Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I'm used to the toner
transfer and etching the boards in ferric chloride.?
However, from what I can tell from the boards I cut, this has
amazing potential in very short time.? Should have put together a
pcb router 20 years ago when it was being talked about back then,
but back then it seemed harder to put one together.
