This system exactly specifies the place of the connector. I have this drawn as an empty board. I use the "outline" layer to specify the board contour. Just grab my PCB file to see what I did. It can be found here: http://logonex.eu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/outline/eurocard_3U/eurocard_3U.pcb?view=co On the right side, there is a vertical line on the silk layer. There are other crossing lines. The crossing coordinate indicates pin 1. See this example of a complete board of mine: http://logonex.eu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/lbus/concentrator/if_card/pcb/if_card.pcb?view=co Happy soldering!
