Yup, known issue. If the outline happens to touch all four edges, it can't figure out the shape. Just remove the outline from the outline layer and it should work - the default outline is the "whole board" like you already have.

Hi Yu - Sian and DJ,

Some board houses (OSH Park for instance) insist on having a fully closed countour on the "outline" layer (as in the "*.GKO" gerber).

The center of the contour line is the edge of the routed edge.

In this use case expanding the board a little is the work around.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
