   Hey folks.  I'm designing a board that needs to have a very complex 
outline.  Starting from an image file, I've gotten what I need into the 
silkscreen layer, but now I'd like to essentially take the shape that's 
there and draw a line 1mm or so around the outside of the entire shape, 
for the outline.

   Can anyone suggest an automated way to do this?  I'd just trace it, 
but the outline is, as I said, very complex.

               Thanks,
               -Dave
