deleting lines after compose shape

myil17

Hi Everyone,

I imported a dxf file choosing outline and made some changes by using "compose shapes" option. But ,I couldn't figure out how to delete the lines that are created just after import. The lines are still there even though I compose shape. Is there a way to delete them?

    Hi

    When you compose the shape based on lines either drawn by hand or imported via a dxf to the board outline class those lines will remain after you compose the shape, to remove them uncheck everything in the find filter except lines,  window select them so they highlight and then right click delete to remove them.
