Hello! I have imported a pcb using a dxf file and am requesting assistance with a few items. I have two custom shaped holes. When importing via dxf the "circles into holes" checkbox did not convert the shapes to holes. They imported to the outline layer. JLBPCB needs them to be set to "hole" or "solid regions" 1) How do i convert these shapes to "Solid Regions" or "Holes" ? ![holes.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/QAanRHn11h5Qdxb9DAVi11OAQDUX6meu1Mvfjsc4.png) My DXF files has solid shapes with variable thickness which I imported into the silk layer. They are showing as hollow shapes on the silk layer 2) How can I tell EasyEDA to make these lines solid? ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/yrtB0e4xwNkeb9yNEx43ZAlbJQ8dAzrrMETt03xN.png) I have some areas on the front of this board where I would like to show the copper underneath. I imported that DXF layer into the "Top Solder Mask" layer. I don't think these imported properly. Attempting a copper fill on the front side of the board did not help. 3) How do accomplish what I am looking for? ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/YGfLHOz8Bjo7R5zocyV3e0WkEdXZMG76bY6WYz5K.png) I would love to finish this project and any help that will point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. :) Thank you!

You can try to use the solid region to create the hole and solder mask. [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/PCB-Tools/index.html#Solid-Region](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/PCB/PCB-Tools/index.html#Solid-Region)

I was searching through the forum on how to import to solid region but was unable to find. When I select the object now I don't have an option to change to NPTH. I will send the dxf file now.. Thank you for offering to help. :)

Hi 1.Only the circle can be convert to hole when you import it.  if you want this two shapes as holes, please change them layer to board outline. and ignore the error message when you save and generate the Gerber. ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/uTygKpynrGFsFdUc949wUxncOjorMtsBf9uxsVoH.png) 2.The dxf fill area doesn't support now, maybe you should import an image instead of importing DXF 3.You can use the solid region to do this , but it doesn't look very well. ![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/oIjzfoALQTFzAYs6UZnJUDXcEuVoK7jr1XH4u4zq.png) at present , the dxf import doesn't support the complicated graphics. thanks
