P/S For me, being able to edit the pcb as a text file, is one of its
best features.
If there is something you can't do in the pcb editor, just do it in a
text editor.
I've also written a lot of python programs to create and manipulate
boards, including routing. In one project i wrote a script to do
layouts and routing for minimum redundancy MIMO arrays.
But, of course, I cringed a little when I saw the note about a new PCB
file format.

Here is another simple way to do it.<br>
<br>
As I understand it, he has the outline in the silk layer.<br>
<br>
So, open the pcb file in a text editor. <br>
<br>
Copy the lines from the silk layer to the paste buffer, and then
paste it back as an extra copy.<br>
<br>
Then, simply edit the extra copy to appear in the outline layer.<br>
