  If you are using a release of PowerPCB prior to V4.0 there is no elegant
solution to your problem that I know of. You are forced to import cutouts as
2d lines and trace them as board objects to create a cutout. With version
4.0 of the software you can import them and then convert them to board
objects directly, no tracing required.

Good Morning fellow Tech Netters,,

        I have a software question regarding Pads PCB,,  Is there a
slick work around to generate multiple board outlines on the same
layout.. and to make things more ugly im inporting from Autocad !!!! if
not,, how can i import one set of lines into a boardout line and the
other into cutouts from Autocad at the same time ?????

                        Thanks Bill
