Another trick that can assist with determining whether any items are in the "Twilight Zone" is to invoke the key sequence R B (invoking the "Reports/Board Information..." item in the default PCB menu). The "PCB Information" dialog box that is subsequently invoked will inform you (within the "Board Dimensions" section) if any items have negative coordinates (relative to the absolute origin), or (by summing the "Min" and arrowed distances) whether any items are more than 100 inches to the right of and/or "above" the absolute origin.
