strange, it works here;

anyhow, you use very smalls numbers and (0.017mm) on the one end and big 
ones later on, and somehow you end up with a boundingbox of 32K bp which is 
pretty large,

The solution is in changing some dimensions: roughly design at the size you 
want and use xysized(..,..) to scale thing sto proportions
