Can I panelize round circuit boards with breakrouting with Eagle?

Can I panelize round circuit boards with breakrouting with Eagle? For example, like this with only small tabs holding the round boards in place for easy assembly: http://www.eurocircuits.com/index.php/technology-guidelines/pcb-panel-guidelines/95-how-to-panelise-round-shaped-pcbs

I haven't done this yet, so take my advise as "The blind leading the blind."

If you want to panelize it yourself, you may need to draw the breakouts manually if there isn't a ULP in Eagle to do it. On the other hand, I think most board houses can do the panelization for you.

That seems to be the case. I checked the online documentation of one PCB house and it looks like I need to supply the board outline and they will do the panelization and breakrouting. http://www.eurocircuits.com/index.php/technology-guidelines/pcb-panel-guidelines/91-introduction-to-eurocircuits-standard-panels So I would think it's standard practice.

panelize PCB boards always used the CAM350 Software, NOT the Eagle. I have the eagle to panelize two boards,but failed.
but letter I learned how to use CAM350 to panelize two PCBs' gerber file, but I'm not skilled.
Maybe you can send your PCB gerber files to this fusion PCB service company, they will help you to panelize and fabricate it.

How's that service? It looks a lot like SeeedStudio's Fusion PCB service, which can't do panelisation (unless you cut the boards out yourself). I quite liked Seeed's quality, but this thing looks interesting because they don't charge extra for custom soldermask colours!

I've reviewed Seeed's service here BTW:
