New LibreCAD user here.  A couple of questions.  I am running the latest version on a Mac OS 10.12.6.  When I add dimensions and later want to move the text to a new position (especially with diametrical dims) I can't seem to find the secret command.  If I select the text, the entire dimension is selected and I can move the it as a unit to another location  (why anyone would want to do that I don't know).  If I explode the dimension first, I still can't seem to move the text to another location to make it more readable.  

I am using the app to create PC board outlines which I need to import into KiCAD.  It appears according to KiCAD that I have to save the files as R12 dxfs after exploding the entire drawing.  When I do that and then reopen the file in LIbrecad there are a bunch of lines on the dimension layer originating at the origin and going out to the dimension lines which are not there before I save it as an R12 file.
Then when I import the file into KiCAD I get all the layers and it gives me no way to just select the drawing layer so I am wondering if its possible to just save the one drawing layer as a dxf to exclude dimensions and construction layers?
