Hello,
I am new to QCad, so hopefully I'm missing something simple.
The .DXF file I am editing is all linked together and I can't edit the radii. The .dxf file is a customers copy, so I'm just editing the file to make it machinable on our CNC Mill.
I could attach the file if necessary, but will it be safe from sensitive information, etc?
Here is a picture of what happens when I tired to edit something, as you can see the whole profile is select, not the entity:

Thanks in advance for your help

You are looking at a block insert. Blocks are named groups of entities in CAD.
You can break the block insert up as follows:
1. select block insert
2. Menu 'Block' - 'Explode'
Or you can leave the block intact and modify its contents:
1. Menu 'Block' - 'Edit block from insert'
2. Click block insert
3. Block is opened in a new document window
4. Edit the block as desired
5. Menu 'File' - 'Close' when you're done with editing
