I designed the fab drawing based on what 4pcb's techs wanted. It has exactly what they asked for - 10 mil outline on centers, drill symbols, project info, gerber format. If you do a gerber without some sort of index (this is what the drill symbols are for) it's useless to them because they can't correlate it with the other layers (unless you tell them to trust the gerber coordinates and skip that validation step). I don't see what a separate route-only gerber would provide. What I *did* want to do at some point is provide a CNC milling file for the board outline, which would let the fab shop skip the tech completely. But, that's a *completely* different problem, as you have to figure in bit skew and such.
