In addition to using some flex specific design techniques, you may also need to define additional layers and outlines for coverlay and/or capton layers. Protel's mechanical layers worked fine for this on the circuits that I've designed.

This question is on topic so you should feel free, at least IMO, to post to either, or both, the PEDA forum (the sister of this OT forum) and/or the Altium DXP forum.
I thought pretty much the only major difference between a flex and solid PCB was the general desire to use rounded rather than hard-angular corners. Protel products can rout with rounded corners. I am not sure if any of the (Protel) autorouters will rout with rounded corners but it is certainly possibly to set design rules to catch non-rounded corners.
