Yo DJ,
The furnace controller board looks nice. Appears that the rj45 is in

Also, there is this intriguing board with a db-9, to-220 and some

It would seem handy to be able to import dxf files for certain hardware

How hard would it be to get PCB to accept polygons in footprints? We'd
need polygons on both copper and silk layers, and both with and without
soldermask.

Stefan,
A quick way to get results is to manually draw the board outline on an
empty layer you rename outline:
This is inelegant, but quick error-free. It requires absolutely no
programming. If outline doesn't sound like a good name to your
vendor, you can easily change it.

Hi,
I've reviewed the naming conventions sheet, and other sources, but

I've been calling them something like:

Is there a more common name being used? What is it?
