Hi
Please try by reducing the design extend(x,y) in footprint and increase in the 
board extend(x,y) as much as possible.I think it will work out.
 
Regards
Rajendran

Hi
 
OK, something totally different: someone hasn't designed a library footprint in 
the wrong units, have they?  ie. a part is in inches instead of mils, ending up 
with a super-big part too big for the board?
 
Still with some hair,
Richard

Thanks to all of those who replied.  
I tried all ideas and continue to have the same problem.
Any more thoughts on the "FIGURE OUT OF EXTENTS" error message would be 
appreciated.
 
Thanks....{pulling hair out of head}

        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 
converte d 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
