Chris,
I always try to have the board outline defined as a closed
polygon or shape. Both types of objects can be Z-copied
to other layers.
This is especially useful when the board outline is very
irregular, and I need to define a route keep-in boundary
that follows the shape, contracted by 50 or 100 thou.

I seek the wisdom of the group:
Does anyone have their board outlines as unfilled shapes (with possible
voids), as opposed to a giant LINE object ( and possible internal LINE
objects)? I would think there'd be numerous advantages of having the
outline as a shape , mainly the impossibility of creating a non-closed
or discontinuous LINE.
What say ye?
