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?

    I have not found a solution yet, but I managed to work around the problem by exporting the shape that I had already created on the other PCB to the clipboard and then import from clipboard to my other PCB. 
    Its important that the file that is created while exporting to clipboard (its a .clp file) is in the same folder as the PCB that you want to import the file from clipboard to, otherwise it wont show up once you press on import from clipboard.
