[PCB_FORUM] Re: FIGURE OUT OF EXTENTS???

Had a similar error a long time ago, not sure if it was the same or not,
but the text definition for one text size was WAY big, and a long piece
of text ended up being ridiculously long and too big to fit in the
board. Might be worth a look...

Hi Al,
Did you try to find out where this "FIGURE" is on the board?
find out the X,Y location, then maybe you can try to expand the 
drawing size to include this X,Y.

I can't think of any other way.



Good luck

Hello guru's
 
In this new design I'm working on I have come across a previously unseen
error.  "FIGURE OUT OF EXTENTS".  
 
Specifically what it means I'm not sure. Thats why I'm writing.
 
 I used to be able to place one part near another or even overlap them
temporarily. Now,  I can't just drop the component anywhere it has to be
free of other place-bound shapes.
One person has suggexted to expand the drawing size, which I did but to
no avail.  I am using several large thru-hole components on this job but
that shouldn't make a difference. This board also has a very odd shape
and all components are rotated to to an odd angle. If you saw it you'd
understand...;-)
The board has the shape of a small axe... mixed smt/tht, 6 laters, no
BGA's, not high speed.
 
I have also taken former artwork for this design and made dxf's out of
them. Then I imported the dxf and made one .dra (format type) of each
layer converted to an dummy layer in Drawing Format. This doesn't seem
to make adifference because I deletd them thinking they were the cause
of the error and the error persists.
 
I'm using Allegro Studio 15.2
 
Any ideas?????  help!
 
Al
