orcad layout datum moving

[colin_toogood@yahoo.com]

Would anyone know why I suddenly can't move the datum in any design.
I've tried re-installing layout and looking through ORCADs FAQ but
can't find anything.

I'm using version 9.1 so as you can guess I'm not under maintenance any
more.

Any help appreciated

Colin

Tool|Dimension|Move Datum should work (That's a v10.x sequence, but I
think it's the same in 9.x). You might try this on a blank board. I
have had corrupted .MAX files which cause unexpected behaviour in
Layout. Sometimes a conversion to an ASCII file and back to a .MAX
file helps.
