Text Line Outside Extent and reuse module

KenEdwards

I am trying to reuse a previous layout by using a module.  When I pick 10 components, I can place the reuse module on the new design without issue.  When I try to fully populate (over 500 components), I am consistently getting a "Text Line Outside Extent" issue and the 3-4 hours of work in associating components just simply disappears.  This has happened 3 times in a row.    Is there a limit on how many components a module can associate ?  Is there a preexisting location that I need to set before associating components ?   Is there something else that I am missing ?

    There is no limit, as far as I can tell, I have replicated a complete processor and memory subsystem with "hundreds" of decouplers, never mind the associated active components. Sounds like you have some "rogue" text, try turning on display of "anything" in Components and see what you have, you could also set the Design parameters to "huge", fill the X and Y sizes with 9's until PCB Editor says "biggest world is" and use that, then you should be able to get things placed.
