Copper Connection & Gerber files

I completed my PCB design in Copper Connection and saved it as a Gerber file. When uploading the file for PCB manufacture at dirty pcb's the site says: PROBLEMS NEED YOUR ATTENTION.
This order is paid, but cannot be processed until you correct problems.
Please upload new files below using the "update" link.

PCB #20420: No board outline (.GML/.GKO/.GBR) file found.

There are no files with these extensions when I export into Gerber from Copper Connections.

How can I fix this?

The outline file probably has a different extension (.GM1 ?). Simply rename this file to *.GKO.

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the .gm1 extension to .gko, it was rejected.

Copper connections is saving files into a zip folder, it contains:
.gbl .gbs .gm1 .gto .gts .txt  files.

Changing the file extension inside Copper Connections seemed to work.

The .gm1 extension needs to be changed to .gko in the file extensions tab in the "Export to Gerber or Excellon" selection.

Thanks for putting me on the right track "eauth"
