Get the Shape layer visible then use Shape>Compose Shape, you probably want to remove the existing objects from Board Geometry> Outline and the use the Compose Shape from the imported Class / Subclass and use the Board Geometry>Outline as the target class / subclass for the Compose.

Try "Shape -> Compose Shape"

Try the Shape > Compose Shape command to see if that helps

Use Shape - Compose Shape, check the options fold out menu for class, subclass etc, then window select the imported dxf data. You will get a composed shape on the class/subclass you specified. You may need to delete the imported dxf data afterwards. It can be a good idea to import the dxf data onto an unused class/subclass first.
