Gerber RS274X profile aperture

I'm using Eagle 9.1.3 | gerber viewer : gebv.

My board contains a profile, and PTH slots,  the manufacturer asks to draw lines with width 1um, I've done this in the layout board "dimension";

But the EAGLE CAM processor generates a gerber "profile" with width of 0.254mm

To change the width to 1um I need to change the aperture size tool within the gerber file;

 

Do you know a way which allows CAM processor to print in the gerber exactly what is drawn on the screen with correct width ?

IMHO, You have graphics with thin lines ("draw lines with width 1um") less 1um.
It is necessary to increase stroke thickness on the board.
By means of the teams "group" "change" "width" "ratio".

Thank you for your answer,

I figure out why the width of the line in dimension lines is not take in account during gerber generation:

In CAM processing, the dimension_layer gerber file has to be generated only from the layer 20, AND no "Board Shape" and "Cutouts", which have to be deselected.

It's interesting to know that "Board Shape" and "Cutouts" generate line of 0.254mm, and no way to change this value;

 

Now I have the board milling lines, with a width of 1um.

Which is requested by the pcb manufacturer to avoid mistakes during milling trace generation.
