Will add gaps (bridges to hold the PCB to the surrounding material) on each side of the PCB # (4 sides) and the resulting Geometry object that hold the cutout geometry will be named cutout_geo cutout gerber_file -dia 1.2 -margin 0.1 -gapsize 3 -gaps "4" -outname cutout_geo # plot the objects so we can see them; not required for the script but in this script we want to see the results plot_all
