Pour keepout

I would like to have a 100mil border around my board to keep out copper pours.  It will be mounted in metal rails so I don't want the possibility of a short.

It is a square board that I used a rectangle to define the board outline.  So I used z-copy to offset the border in 100mil.  Now I would use change to change the class to... what?  Would it be BOUNDARY:ALL?

    Apparently : E- (SPMHGE-543): Changing rectangle to a different class is not supported. Do I need to redraw the outline using lines then?
