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

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

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,

 

Eric

    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

    This has come up before. Search the previous posts. Recommend you do that at

    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.
