Hi,

I've got a problem with DXP.

When viewing the gerbers, it appears that we have some components
duplicated outside of the board area, but only on certain layers -
specifically the solder and paste layers, but not on the normal top layer.

I've tried the old trick of selecting outside area and trying to delete
them but they won't show up at all in Protel. Using the inspector list, I
can't see them either and definately can't delete them.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Typical..... how about turning all layers on and retrying? I've found
library errors that cause similar problems in the old 'Client' version and
the culprit was in an odd ball layer.


I have seen this sort of thing as well. Sometimes it is a very small
section of arc which has a big radius with the centre outside the
visible area. These arcs cannot be selected and deleted. I have
exported such files in ASCII format, and deleted the relevant ARC's
in a text editor.
