How do I create a board outline on my PCB?

japper

Another question...

 

I am done with my schematics and have run the CAM processor.

 

Afterwards, I decided to view my gerber files on a viewer before sending these out to the fab house but

I noticed that there is not board outline in the gerber viewer.

 

When  I did the wire (0 0)(100 0)(100 80)(0 80)(0 0); to find how much room that I had,

I then moved this so it was smaller and deleted the board outline that was smaller.

 

Looking at my PCB in Eagle, the brd file looks like this:

and looking at the gerbers in a viewer, they look like this:

What am I missing?

 

How do I create a board outline on my PCB so that is shows

up in my Gerber files?

 

thanks

    The board outline is defined by wires (lines) on layer 20.  It must be a

    closed shape.
