Reading docs about create and view PCB board outlines.

Here’s the most relevant Flux documentation on defining your board outline so your carrier and front panel appear:

In this tutorial, we'll explore the different ways to create and modify board outlines in Flux, allowing you to customize your PCB shape and size to fit your project requirements.
Overview
The board outline defines the physical boundaries of your PCB and is one of the first design decisions you'll make. Flux provides several options for creating board outlines, from simple shapes to complex custom designs.

We'll cover the following topics:

Basic shapes: Create circular or rectangular boards with precise dimensions

Rounded corners: Add rounded corners to rectangular boards for improved manufacturability

Custom shapes: Import external shapes for complex designs

Best practices: Guidelines for creating effective board outlines

Basic Shapes
Flux has built-in support for simple shapes (circular and rectangular). For complex shapes, please refer to the section on Advanced (custom) shapes.

Electrical Rule Checks

Duplicate Designators

Reports components with identical designators.

No-Connect Violation

Reports no-connect pins that are connected.

Pin-to-Pin Conflicts

Protected Intrusions

Reports intrusions from objects of other nets into polygons or fills that have the Protected layout rule applied.

Missing Footprints

Reports components that need a footprint but don't have one.

Component Review Checks

Incomplete Project Info

Reports the project when the name or description haven't been modified from the default.

Missing Properties

Reports the project or terminals when critical properties are missing: Manufacturer Part Number, Manufacturer Name, Datasheet, Part Type, Designator Prefix, or Pin Number.

Missing Terminals

Reports the project when no terminals are present.

Missing Parametric Symbol Properties

Reports terminals that are missing parametric symbol properties (pin group, pin orientation, section).

System Checks

Auto-Layout

Beta

Reports issues with Auto-Layout if Flux cannot route something or must ignore a configuration.
