The Unitechnik file format has a limitation in X, Y coordinates. When exporting to Unitechnik 5.2 format, it is very important to note that negative coordinates are not supported in Unitechnik 5.2. If the insertion points for the elements are in negative X or Y coordinates, a transformation has to be carried out. Say that your outer negative value in Y is - 100000, in order to export a useful value in Unitechnik 5.2, you will need to select Offset y [mm] = -200000. The operation that is then carried out before exporting is then Y = -100000-(-200000) = 100000. This value is positive and exported.

Another important limitation of the supported formats is the limited range of the format, for Unitechnik 5.2, this is [0, 999999] and for 6.0 this is [-999999, 999999].
