 Post subject: Way to clip silk layers at board edge?

I have some connector patterns for right-angle and board-edge connectors that hang off the side of the board, normally. The silk layer for these parts typically has pieces that extend beyond the board-edge, but there are some board fab houses that don't like anything outside the board boundary. Is there a way to have the Gerber output limited to things inside the board outline, and clip off silk (or other??) that's beyond the edge of the board? I suppose if there isn't, I'd request that it be added to the list for future consideration.

My work-around right now is to explode the pattern in layout and delete the offending parts.

Diptrace can't automatically remove silkscreen outside a board outline. I have added this feature in the request list.
