I am the one who asked about this in the IRC channel. So far the best I 
came up with was to reduce the line size, delete half the lines and live 
with the small error. ;)

Let me at least add the use case, though: One of our EMS providers wants 
the board outline as DXF for panel planning. They accepted the 
outline-style drawing for now, but it will require manual intervention 
at their end. I would prefer being able to provide that drawing.

Cheers,

Johannes
