Hello,

I know which coordinates constitute the corners of my board outline and cutouts, is it the wire command that i type to make a dimension line go from one point to the other?

Typing "Wire (-163.5, 0)" doesnt seem to be working

do yo uknow how to do it?
 

It is the wire command, but should be something like wire (x1 y1) (x2 y2).
Make sure you're using the Dimension layer.

I set a suitable grid and draw the outline manually. Use the Dimension layer and a small width. Some tutorials suggest a zero width although you can get Gerber errors reported with zero width from some PCB manufacturers. The "dimension" layer is combined with "top place" for the silk screen in the standard CAM processor.
