I've downloaded Arduino Pro Micro library but can't create board layout with added component (Eagle Lite)

Hi All

I'm having problems, moving components in Eagle lite. I've downloaded Element14 Arduino Pro Micro library and I've added my passive components to make a simple keyboard emulator. Now I'm trying to arrange the board layout I keep getting the following message:

The Light edition of EAGLE can't perform the requested action!

Some objects extend outside the allowed board area.

I know that the board limitation on Eagle lite are 100mm x 80mm, I can't see the board boundaries but I'm sure this would be a small board as the Aruino pro micro is only 30mm x 15mm.

My questions are,

how do I view the board limitation boundaries?

can i add components outside the Element14 Aduino Pro Micro boundaries?

Thanks

Steve

Layer 20 (dimension) shows the outline of the board. The 100x80mm
limitation starts at the origin (0,0). If your board is offset from the
origin it's possible that you're outside of the limit.

Thanks for the reply, just looking at layers and they start at layer 90
and end at layer 254. How do I select layer 20?

Thanks again, regards Steve
