I have Light, received 105x40 board file, get objects outside board area when resize smaller

Former Member

Seems like a catch 22

 

I cannot do certain operations because the board is longer than 100mm.  But I cannot make it smaller because that is one of the operations I cannot do.

    there is no way around that limitation using a light version.

     

    You will need to enlist help from someone (the originator of the file

    set?) with an eagle version that covers the board format.

     

    Or delete(/rename/move away) the board file and redo the layout.

    If the board is only 5mm larger than the restriction then you should be

    able to reduce it.

     

    The way the size limitation  manifests itself is that you cannot land a

    part's pads/smd beyond that area. So with some planning  you can pick up

    a part and move and drop it into the permitted area. So long as the pads

    are within the area, the rest of the components outline

    and traces going to the pads can be beyond 100mm
