Cam Job Creating gerber files with Out of Range warnings on Viewer

Eric Sanderson wrote:

When I create the gerber files for a board it gives an error in the

gerber viewer (ViewMate) that says "Coordinate exceeds largest

allowed value (1000.0 inches). Coordinate maps to X=1190.8922

Y=-2147.483649 inch using current origin and Data Format: 2.4,

Leading zeros suppressed, Absolute, English.

 

I have checked over the entire view of the board file to see if

something was placed outside of the dimension frame but can find

nothing. Any suggestions?

 

I would attached the .brd file but it won't let me for some reason

 

Thanks,

If you WINDOW FIT; and the board fully fits in the editor window then I

agree with Tilmann and it is likely the data format

Of course all the exported layers should be visible before doing win fit. I

have seen occations of wire ends moving far out by corruptio, but my

suspicion lies at the import function and unit conversion. Many gerber

importers arent very smart when it comes to autodetecting the number of

decimals.

It doesn't matter - FIT always considers all elements, visible or not.

Exactly that was my first guess - and especially ViewMate is known for

some misinterpretations.
