Step and Repeat "Cannot add objects beyond... pasteboard"

[Blade_...@adobeforums.com]

I get this error way too often, "Cannot add objects beyond the bounds of the pasteboard. Please decrease the offset distance or reduce the number of duplicates."

First off, this error should not show until i press ok, not when just typing in values.

Second, the error calculations are wrong! I have my current step and repeat set on an 8 1/2" x 11" page at:
Repeat Count: 10
Horizontal Offset: 0
Vertical Offset: 0.375
Preview is checked.
The above works fine, no error but if I change the repeat count to 9 (takes up less space than 10 obviously) the error comes up! It's driving me crazy! This is copying a horizontal line, starting at 3.125". The first 10 lines work but I can't go past 10. The next 10 after the bottom line work, but It gives the error on 9 or less.

This is more of a nucence but I would love to see this fixed. I use shortcuts and the tab button for entries to speed things up at work. When this error pops up, it just slows me down. Is there anything I can do to shut this warning off?

Join the club of people unhappy with how step and repeat throws errors. :)

That business with the 10 steps working, but not 9, sounds like you may have found a bug though. You can report it here: <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform>
