V-Score Panelization Questions

[1276-2449-1-ND]

A quick question about v-scored panels (no routing/milling):

Should each separate PCB outline ("Dimension" in Eagle-speak) be included with the panel along with the outer panel outline? Or should the individual outlines be removed when adding them to an exclusively v-scored panel?

From looking around it looks like it's done both ways. There's too much English in my question for the fab to answer coherently.

I ask because Eagle cuts out dimensions-within-dimensions (with Board Shape Detection enabled) and it looks funny, and I don't know if the individual PCB dimensions are used for anything at the fab for these types of panels. Sample in first picture.

Which layer should the V-Score line be on (I used the Eagle default 102)? Where should that layer be included in the Gerbers? Should it be annotated on that layer (as shown in the second picture)?

I’ve always done it with just the outer dimension plus the v-score lines (annotated) all on the dimension layer.  Never had a problem or query using multiple fab houses.

No problem if you put the v-score lines and annotations on different layers, and even have the panel and individual PCB outlines on different layers.  I often do that in Altium, but don’t think I’ve bothered in Eagle.
The important thing is to include all the appropriate layers needed when generating the dimension Gerber to be sent to the fabricator.

I normally have an outline layer, that is included on *every* layer of the gerber. 

I supply another gerber that has the vscores,  another with tab routing.   It seems to work ok for me.
