DirtyPCBs support / Re: You guys rock! - Panel design help needed
Your board design looks fine, that is how I did my latest order too. Just a 0mil outline on the 20-dimension layer, leaving a bit of room and rounding the corners. I left at least 3mm of clearance, but I don't think it matters too much. No gerber viewer had a clue what to do with it, so I sent it off and crossed my fingers that it'd work!

Got the board back today, worked perfectly! (I was worried I'd get a bag full of holes... but seems there is a dirty human somewhere in the mix who knows what to keep and what to cut).

So for anyone wondering, here the steps for Eagle:
  • Design your PCBS one by one, making a new .pcb file for each one
  • Create a new blank PCB, not attached to any schematic
  • Place each PCB into your panelized PCB by choosing File, Import, Eagle Drawing and selecting the .pcb file
  • Turn on all layers, then use the group select tool to move them around and position them
  • Delete all your board outlines
  • Use the line and curve tool to draw new board outlines
  • Use the hole tool to make your mouse bites
  • Export gerbers (check that the routing lines don't go through your mouse bites)
  • Double check and triple check gerbers
  • Place order
