PADS only allows one instance of a board outline. As to importing from
Autocad, there is an app note at

CAD_drawing_for_pcb_bga.htm

The above line will probably wrap, so use cut and paste to go to the
address.

Good Morning fellow Tech Netters,,

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
