Hi,
Here is my dwg file that I want to import to altium designer. As you can see it imports file as mechanical layer to my pcb But I want to import this file as top or bottom layer not mechanical. How can import as top or bottom layer track?

You can select all needed imported primitives, then PCB->PCB Inspector and change the layer to desired.

Dear Altaero
Thanks for your good way.
one more thing , How can create a circular board shape(I can redefine a polygonal board shape) in specific area(the yellow section) ?

Thanks
 

In general, draw a desired shape (usually at mechanical layer 1), select all external primitives, then Design->Board Shape->Define from selected objects. To make a cutout, select all internal primitives forming closed shape (one shape by time), then Tools->Convert->Create board cutout from selected primitives.
In your case if you want a circular board, just place two full circles, external to board shape, internal to board cutout.

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way to fill solid a region easily.(for example select a region and then it fills automatically). Because for an accurate draw or with a high number of solid parts it takes to time to fill sold with Place->fill or Place->fill a region commands.
