that is handled informally, so you can say the centerline of the outline trace is to be the edge to router
cut to, or have it be the outside edge of the trace, your preference.

To me, the centerline makes sense, and I draw it with a fine trace and I don't expect super precision,
so it's going to be about right.  So then you draw arcs and lines to define your outline and draw places inside it
to define cutouts.

If you are doing ten of them, you could wait until pcb-rnd has the feature and use it if the effort of a
new install is not so much of a cost.  I am compiling it frequently and can give you a howto of it.

Then you could put the slots in a footprint like we all have wanted since forever.
