You have identified a long time problem with Protel. I have my library
components constructed with a .designator string and an outline much as you
describe. Mine are on Mechanical 1, from days with only 4 mechanical layers.
My outlines are 4mil lines centered ten mils beyond the max

that Dave has explained. It would be a great boost to Protel if they would
implement a paired mechanical layers scheme. As boards get more dense and 2
