Re: [PEDA] v large pcb document

[H. Selfridge]

This is a problem that crops up regularly in all versions of Protel.  It is 
likely that, at some point in laying out your PCB, some primitive or 
component accidentally has been moved or placed outside your work area.  It 
may even be on a layer that you have turned off, such as a mechanical layer 
used for notes or mechanical layout.

First use "turn on used layers" to make sure all is visible.  If you can't 
see the culprit, try using "deselect all" then "select outside" and  draw 
your selection box around the perimeter of your desired board layout 
area.  Now use "shift delete" to delete all selected items.  Whatever is 
outside the selection box should be deleted.

You can also try the same "select outside" and then drag the selection into 
visual range so you can delete it.

I am using DXP +SP2 and have a PCB design where the document size is very
much bigger than the board. Because of this I can't get a print preview or
generate Gerber files. In the latter case I get a 'film too small' error. I
don't know how the document size got changed but I would very much
appreciate a way to reset it to the same as the sheet so I can make some
output files. All suggestions welcome.

Dave
