My boards had a somewhat complex, non-rectangular shape, which I drew usi=
ng=20
shorter lines with the milling layer in Eagle, then output to a separate =
file=20
for the gerber output.  In my readme, I specified that I needed it cut to=
=20
that dimension, so they would have to adjust for the diameter of their=20
milling tool, and they did that very well.

My boards were also split into 2 halves, which will be soldered one over =
the=20
other, so I drew them as one unit and dropped a straight row of small hol=
es=20
between them, so I could snap them apart.  They did not have a problem wi=
th=20
this, which advanced circuits eluded would be a problem, as that would be=
 2=20
circuits.

Cheers,
