How do I export a board shape from Allegro to a Visio compatible file format?

I need to extract an image of the board shape from Allegro, retaining size information, then import into Visio. Can anyone provide information on how this can be done?

    DXF format is common between the two.  You might need to install the Visio DXF reader add-in based on your version which is free.
