How to copy an unfilled shape's border into a line draw?

lbriski

With 17.2's creation of an unfilled shape on Board Geometry/Design_Outline subclass when loading a .emn file we have lost the line draw that was being created with the older versions of Allegro.   I was copies of that line draw to represent the board's outline for various other purposes, eg. solder mask, paste mask, nc route path.

Is there a way to generate from the border of an unfilled shape a continuous line draw?   The line draw could end up on any other subclass, I have no preference.
