Not finding help on diagnosing this on CDNS website or just what it is expecting.  Just me?   B-)

    Firstly - there is Hotfix S007 but are you using the correct subclasses? Sine 17.2 was introduced Outline is no longer the preferred subclass, you should use Design_Outline (which must be a closed shape) and Cutout for cutouts. Both are under Board_Geometry class.

    I misspoke.  Yep.  have an un-filled shape on design_outline and shapes on cutout that were copied from ncroute_path.  Wanted to make sure everyone understood the question.  B-)

    off to download sp7.   Thanks steve!   (wow, there's two parts this time..)
