For any shapes, including board outlines, if you enable the 'Shape Information' dockable bar ([View], [Dockable Bars]), then selecting any segment will give information about co-ordinates and lengths for ANY shape. This is editable, but you might want to pin the bar open first! Of course, you can still drag segments around, or double click and edit them, the same as any shape.
If you've added an extra board by mistake, just select it and press <Del>. That should remove it. Remember to press <Esc> when you've added your board so you exit the function.
When you import the DXF, the import dialogue gives you a choice of how it will be applied. Ignore the layers. Instead choose 'Board' as the type of import instead. If it's already in the design, right click and use 'Change Shape Type' to change it.
Since when did a board fill in green, or are you referring to the 3D view?
The easiest way is to slide out the 'Layers' dockable bar and check or uncheck layers. There's not a lot of point, though, as the board outline is placed independently of layers. In effect it's on it's own system generated layer. |
