Moving a board outline segment with arcs.

I have a rectangular board outline with the 4 corners arc,ed. I need to move the vertical straight segments out a few MM.

When I select SHAPE/SELECT SHAPE select the outline and try to move a straight segment I get the following error: W- (SPMHGE-609): Arc segment editing not supported.

Is there any way to easily get around this ?

Yes - Use Shape - Decompose Shape, check the options and convert the shape back to line segments. Once done move the line segment as required and then use Manufacture - Drafting - Fillets to re-fillet the corner. Once complete use Shape - Compose shape to make the board outline complete again. You'll be pleased to know that in the future there will be a MUCH easier way to do this.......
