Importing DXF into existing board design

stellar

 I have an existing board design that I need to bring in some DXF data. I've got the board open and run the import/dxf and map the layers to a BOARD GEOMETRY class and a custom subclass name. I choose the units and it looks correct after import but my entire board dissapears. I'm not even sure the board design is in scope at this stage. On other boards I work from the mechanical design to the layout and import the DXF at the beginning but this one is my first attempt at loading into an existing board.
