The pcb view I looked at (others could be different) did not have either the holes, or the outline. Just the header pins. If a pcb view contains both the outline and the mounting holes, that would be a simpler place to start with this process. The extracted svg would have a lot less to delete, and the path would probably be correct for the gerber export. Though the outline might be only a “line” not a filled shape that would be needed for a pcb shape. The holes might be separate too, instead of embedded in the shape. Would need to check. I’ve used the breadboard view image before, for similar cases, so I knew (well was pretty sure) it would work.
