How to convert to Design_Outline(latest ver.) from Outline (16.x ver.) on SPB 17.4 ?

Hi all.

I imported one of brd file which created by SPB16.x ver. at SPB17.4 

but I had issue to converting Outline to Design_Outline at Board_Geometry class

as I know, I normally used the 'Change to layer' to convert other layer.

but as you can see, there is no any 'Design_Outline' class (see below pic.)

How to convert from 'OUTLINE' to 'Design_Outline' ?

regards,

    A Design_Outline must be a closed shape so try Shape - Compose Shape (or Create Shape from Lines), check the Options pane for Class/Subclass and then window the board.
