I'm in my 14th week of developing a "minimalist" PCB Layout Program. The program will only handle the design of a 2-layer board and would be perfect for beginners.
I'm going to use it mostly for designing small development boards that use Atmel AtMega chips.
The layout program is 95% complete and I'm wrapping up the Gerber File and Excellon Drill File Generation.
The only thing missing is the layout of a Gerber Board Outline File (.gko). I'm sure there's not much to it, just a few lines of text.
If someone could rummage through their Gerber Files and please give me a heads up sample of a Standard Gerber RS-274-D Board Outline File (.gko). My board is 1.7 inches wide and 1.3 inches high.
It probably starts and ends in accordance with the below snippet.
