Brad,
I can't really follow your description in any absolute way. If you
copied the board outline from Mech4 to Mech1, then you should be able to see
the board outline when viewing Mech1 in single layer mode. It sounds like you
are saying you have done that but don't see the board outline.
Your use of "them", "they" doesn't make it absolute about which
detail(s) you are describing/seeing/asking about.
Different people use different layers for board outlines in Protel. I
have heard mention of people using Mech1, Mech4, our company uses the Keepout
layer. Personally, I have never used any of Protel's built-in functions for
board outlines, strictly lines drawn on appropriate layers.
Sincerely,

Subject: [PEDA] Mechanical1 Layer - Protel99SE
Protel created the PCB outline on Mechanical4.
For parts placement I outlined each PCB component on Mechanical1 so as not
to convolute Mechanical4.
When I switch to single layer mode and select Mechanical1 the entire
component outlines show up but not the PCB outlines.
I copied the PCB outlines from Mechanical4 to Mechanical1 so they overlap.
Is this why I cannot see them in single layer mode?
I can see them when I am not in single layer mode.
Thanks,
Brad.
