If a CAD file has very large extents, or if the largest coordinates of any of the entities are very large, a Hint will appear in the Hint window (if Hints are enabled),describing the problem and offering potential ways to resolve it.
Problem: Drawing and/or Object's X, Y or Z coordinates exceed AGi32's Overflow Limit: 99,999,999.
- The Hint field will display this message: WARNING: One or more entities in this environment are beyond the allowable extents of the program. Consequently, the extents have been truncated to prevent errors. Recommendation: (Plan View): Using Tools - Resolve Extents, disable or delete invalid entities.
Problem: Overall extents (Max-Min) exceed AGi32's Allowable Extents: 999,999.
- The Hint field will display this message: WARNING: Entities in this environment exceed the allowable extents of the program. Consequently, entities may not be visible or may appear as dots. Recommendation: Using Tools - Resolve Extents, locate entities and move, disable or delete.
Problem: Entities are located beyond AGi32's definition of a Reasonable Distance from the Origin, where "Reasonable Distance" = 999,999 feet or meters.
- The Hint field will display this message: WARNING: Entities in the environment are outside a reasonable distance from the origin. consequently, there may be a loss of precision. Recommendation: Move the Origin closer to the entities using Tools - Translate Origin.
