I get this message on a couple of symbols now when trying to quickplace. Any clues??
thanks

  • It sounds like your drawing size is too small to fit the symbols in. Select Setup > Drawing Size and increase the size or select Place > Manually and see if you can place the symbols inside the outline. Let us know if this helps. Thanks!

  • another possibility may be that your symbol is built with a piece of geometry far away from the origin of the symbol itself. Bring up your symbol in the symbol editor, display all layers and then do a fit view. If there is something amiss it will be quite obvious.

  • Another area to check is the pin numbering. Do the footprint pin numbers match what is used in the schematic symbol.
