Remove symbol definitions from board's database

aricbeaver

Hi,

I have a board that will not save due to an unplaced mechanical symbol definition:

"ERROR(SPMHA1-150): Symbol does not fit into the drawing ... reposition the symbol. Error cannot be fixed."

This is not a required symbol and was residual from previous designs. It shows up in the board's database when using the "Place > Manually... > Placement List > Mechanical symbols".

The symbol can be selected when using "Find menu > Find By Name > [name of symbol]" but even with global visibility the part is not visible and cannot be deleted. The symbol can also be placed manually via this menu and subsequently deleted in the editor.

Note: I can remedy by resizing the drawing to be larger.

Any advice? Thanks!

  • If you resize the design can you find and locate the part ? It sounds like it's in the design but outside the extents so once resized locate and delete the part then resize the design back to the original size. If that doesn't help try a Database Check.
