This tutorial revises the method shown in the "PCB in reverse" videos for creating an outline. Instead of pulling in a graphic that creates a polygon, this converts the shape to a solid shape and then traces the outline and imports the DXF. We also use open source tools GIMP and Inkscape in this video.
