Create shape from lines comand

BB202506061452

I use Allegro 25.1

I imported a .dxf file and created a shape out of the imported lines (its a logo that I want to put on the board geometry sst layer). Then I switched to a different pcb to do the exact same thing with the exact same .dxf file and now the comand cant select anything. It worked just fine on my other pcb. I can also not select or unselect any option in the 'Desgin Object Find Filter' when the create shape from lines comand is active. Everything is greyed out. What is going on?

    Your probably not in any Application Mode. Try Setup - Application Modes - General and see if that helps.
