Hai,

Iam using orcad layout plus 9.2, whenever i open the file, board outline displays. but generating gerber data board outline disappears. is there any possibility to viewboardoutline in gerber o/p.
 

thank you for your reply.

actually board outline is in global layer, in orcad there is no option to enable/disable board outline.
 

it is better u can add it in the gerber itself

Copy board outline to some other layer, which you are printing ( top, bot, silk...). Change the obstacle type from board outline to something else ( detail...).
Have a nice day
 

Open the post processing settings spreadsheet. Then select the Gerber layer you want to edit (top for example). right click, preview. In preview mode click on the color settings icon in the toolbar. Now you can enable/disable all the stuff you want to/don't want to have on the selected Gerber layer.
 

Actually I dont use layout but reckon it should be useful having the board outline traced in assembly layers too.
