How to fix this error when I trying to export the ODB++ in allegro.

Hi everyone,

I need to continue design from another designers and I have a problem when I trying to export the ODB++ file.

When I try to run ODB++ inside and select .tgz as the output, all of the ODB++ database output files are dumped to the active directory and

I get a "Translation failed! dml_fsymlib-42004-Illegal symbol dimensions" pop-up and the process can't proceed. 

I've generated ODB++ packages on this computer before, so not sure what's changed. 

Gerbers generate just fine.  I tried re-installing ODB++ Inside, but that didn't make a difference. 

Anyone else know of this error and how to correct it? Please. T_T
