Out of date shape error, bug?

AAmiriUK

Hi, 

I'm having troubles creating artworks because there is an out of date shape that I can not find! The status shows no Etch on the Bottom layer with strange coordinates. I have turned off all layers and turned on, bottom layer or boundary, and still can not see anything. 

Is there any way to bypass or solve this problem?

Thanks

    Try a Tools - Database Check (or Check - Database Check in OrCAD), check all the options and click on Check. Once complete click Viewlog to see if anything was fixed. Save the board and try again.

    You're a lifesaver! It worked and out of date shape turned green, wooho!

    Many thanks and have a good Christmas holiday.
