Changing extents

I get this message when I try to dimension my PCB.

E- (SPMHA1-73): Text line is outside of the extents.

How do I go about redefining my extents? Thanks

Did you try changing the drawing extents in Drawing Parameters under the Setup/Drawing Size menu? You could also try a skill program that I use called autosize. It can be found on sourcelink in the list of submitted skill programs. Hope that helps!

There's a skill routine available that's very handy for this - "autosize.il".

Hi
Please check the text block size that you are using for the dimensions. The default is a size 9. On very small designs
it may not beable to place the dimension text within the extent of the design.
