hmm, I think when you are asking for outline you 
wanted to route the copper around the tracks, not
route the board itself. CAMtastic can create an
outline but, the PAD outlines are drawn over the
track outlines, so there will be a break in the 
copper. So, AFAIK Protel/DXP can't do what you are
after, you may find some software on the internet
that can create this from the gerber files.
