Summary


Details

In PCB Exchange, after adding body by creating an extrude feature.Running the Validate PCA command in PCBx reports an error:
Component "" group could not be found"


Solution

PCB Components created as bodies must have a CSYS defined in order for In PCBx to determine the transform (translation, rotation). The initial position of the component csys is expected to be in line with the absolute csys. So if the component csys–s final position is (10, 10), then it means the component was translated by (10, 10).
Move the WCS to a point on body and use Format --> WCS --> Save.Then create a new named group of the CSYS and the component bodyusing Format --> Group --> New Group.
Running the PCBx Validate PCA should not record an error regardingthe component group.
