[PCB_FORUM] FIGURE OUT OF EXTENTS - Thanks

I'd like to thank all those who replied to my "help" call for the "figure out 
of extents" problem.

In the end I did have a footprint which was corrupted and causing no end of 
trouble in the design.

 

I'd like to thank Dave for his idea. I left it below for anyone to read incase 
you need to do this yourself sometime. I did exactly as he suggested and all is 
now well. I ended up deleting the footprint and recreating it from scratch.

 

Admittedly it took some time but it had to be done.

 


Thanks again

 

Alan
