non-rectangular PCB board outline

How do I specify a non-rectangular board outline in the Gerber files from Eagle.
I know the board outline is in the 20 dimension layer -- but there seems no output fine in the sfe-gerber274x.cam definitions.

I tried submitting the .brd through oshpark - and they seemed to show a rectangular board.

Thoughts?

The board design will be whatever your outline is in Eagle. OSH Park will look rectangular due to how they render the images, but look at the lines. Just remember that some fab houses only do rectangular boards. OSH park does most non-rectangular designs within reason. I have circular boards from OSH Park.
