Subject: [geda-user] gerber export - outline layer

After beating my head against the wall trying to get my outline to
work, I discovered that the gerber export doesn't actually export the
outline layer as such unless it is in a group by itself.

     else if (nlayers == 1
 459                && (strcmp (PCB->Data->Layer[idx].Name, "route") == 0 ||
 460                    strcmp (PCB->Data->Layer[idx].Name, "outline") == 0))
 461         {
 462           suff = "oln";
 463         }

It looks quite on purpose, but doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
Is this correct behavior?
