Hey Chris,
I always made the board outline as continuous Lines.. It really isn't that
difficult to do using the Chamfer and Fillet functionality to join the
lines to form
a closed polygon. As you know any closed polygon can be Z-Copied to
create
planes and keepins for the board. It is also very important to have a
close
polygon as the board outline because Valor will no understand the multiple
lines and simply draw a box around all the line segments to identify the
board outline.
My two cents.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Ups/downs of board outline being an unfilled shape?
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?
