EAGLE Users: Question Re: Dimensions and Pots...

I have a quick question about board dimensions and prepping them for manufacture at FuturLec (or wherever). If you look at the board below, you'll see the pots and LED are attached via airwire on the top layer as they should be:



My question(s), then, are:

1. FuturLec accepts EAGLE brd files, but it would seem I need to set the board dimensions to ONLY equal the dimensions of the final size I want -- which means I do NOT need to include the pots and LED within the border dimensions, right?

2. If I size the board dimensions to only the actual board, EAGLE throws-up dimension errors -- which I can, it seems, tell EAGLE to approve. Should I do that?

3. If FuturLec (or whomever) gets my brd file and runs a DRC on it, it will throw up dimension errors for them, too. Should I expect them to see those errors are due to airwire and that they'll manufacture the board based solely on the dimensions I set?

Thanks,
Maury
