I usually draw the board outline on Mech 1 and then select the board
outline and copy to one of the power planes. I then select just the
outline on the power layer and change the track width. I select the
track width depending on the required clearance between the plane and
the board edge. I then copy this outline to the other power plane
layers. If I use a 50 mil track width, I get a 25 mil separation of the
plane and the edge of the board.
I usually draw the keepout layer along the edge of the track used on the
power plane area so that my traces do not extend past the edge of the
plane.
