Fab drawing size issue

HotrodJEB

I am trying to create a fab drawing. I chose "ASIZEH" as a starting point. As you can see below, the drawing is too small and looks cluttered. If I try "BSIZE" it won't allow me to place it.

Board size is 6"x4". 

Is the canvas size too small or an extents issue?

    Ideally you are better off having a design size that is bigger than a sheet size. If a sheet is bigger than the design area then you wou't be able to place that sheet.

    It is easy to fix the design extents size. Here is a pic showing something suitable for a B-Size drawing. I find it better to go larger on the design so that I can zoom
    out past the actual sheet size.

    Try change your settings to what is in the pic and see if that works for you

    All the best.
