    Yes, simply delete and create a new rectangle on the dimension layer.

    No, doesn't matters.

    Ok, no problemo.

    it depends on the board house. The board house I ever deal (Digicart, on
Brazil's south) initially asked for Tango or Gerber files. So I've sent a
freeware copy of Eagle and tell then how to use it. Now I only send the
Eagle's .BRD file.

    Best regards,
