Has anybody noticed that you cant make a shape bigger than 455mm x or y in pcb design.

I have to import using DXF.

I've never tried to make a shape that big.

But I just added a closed shape to a design as a test. I could take it almost to the 1000mm extents of the design area that EPC provides.

999.81 x 999.86

By pressing "H" and setting the steps to fortieth and then using the keyboard to adjust the edges I could expand well beyond 1000mm.

Sorry missed a vital part of my winge.

I meant to say that the shape information dockable bar seems to have a limit on the size entered.

I use this a quick and accurate way of changing shapes but it's has a limit.

I have just tried the Shape bar, and can enter values > 455, just used the bar to alter my shape to go right up to 999mm.

Maybe something specific about the shape you are creating/editing, I suggest you save the file at the point where you have the shape you want to alter, then send it to Support so we can have a closer look.
