Mystery Part Causing Zoom Out

Former Member

I've been working on a schematic/board for a while now and for some reason when I zoom "fit", the board appears very small as if there is a part way out in space.  I've tried doing a group delete in four rectangles around the board, but it always says that the group is empty.  Any suggestions!  I use the zoom fit a lot so this is getting quite frustrating!

 

Thanks!

    Are you using any custom libraries or parts?  There could be an erroneous object in one of the footprints.

    First try to make a duplicate board with the cut. This may remove a data

    glitch from the file.

    It is best to work with a duplicate so save as. Then in the new board

    show all layers then do a group of what you think has all of what you

    have and do a cut. Open a new blank board and paste it in to it.

    If that now zooms correctly just fix use a file manager to copy the

    original schematic to the new board name and check for consistency.

     

    If that does not help is it could be in a component.

    Start with a copy of the board file. zoom extents. group 1/2 of the

    board and delete. rezoom and repeat.
