How to set border limits for supply layers

autodeskguest

Where do you set border limits for supply layers?

I just got some boards with internal supply layers (Vcc and Gnd) all the way

up to the border of the board, you actually can see the edge of the layer on

the board edge. Though the boards are ok a risk of a short circuit its big.

    DRC, "Distance" tab.  The setting here sets the distance between the

    edge of a polygon or other copper and the Dimension of the board.

    For polygons in inner layers okay, but for a supply layer (e.g. $GND)

    you have to draw a WIRE around the board near the border. Supply layers

    are displyed inverted, so your the WIRE is an isolation line.
