I would like to output geber data. I always get the folowing message:

None of the plots include the board outline. Continue with plot anyway?


Which layer should I turn the Board Outline on?

Kind regards,

Daniel Hodali

I include the board outline on all active layers. The pcb manufacturer/plotter can always remove it (Gerber editor) if they prefer it without. Never ever been questioned, -even for solder paste stencils!

It does not really matter it is up to the manufacturer to find the board outline...

I always put it on the top copper and botom copper and never had any problem with the manufacturer about it
