I just want to make a copper pattern which is drawn in other cad.
When I import dxf file in copper layer i can’t do anything because it is regarded as a graphic object.
So how can i draw copper pattern on the board?
DXF does not have any netlist information like Gerber has. This information normally comes from schematic what is also missing. If its only a simple and pure RF meander or printed component, its probably best if you reroute on a layer above ? If your mechanical CAD is able to write Gerber, you could go with the Geber-Viewer to Layout. Anycase you need to create a schematic and assign the placement to existing traces.

Maybe you can use KicadStepUp in FreeCad to achieve your requirement.

You can select Single or All the DXF lines and make tracks.
Example shows importing into User layer then converting to Tracks (you can import DXF into any layer - I show User because it’s Green and easy to turn visibility off after converting).
Further, vid shows setting to a Net (I created a new Net as one didn’t exist).
The DXF was drawn in FreeCad (screenshot).
