I have had a few issues with EPC although first used it on Windoze 3.1 in 1990 so forgive my patience!
I am using Easy-PC 1000 Version 11.0.6 and I have a very small PCB layout approx 20 by 70mm in size. When I run the DRC it gives lots of errors. No surprise there except they are all located in an approximate area of 482.??, 480.?? that is far away from the design board outline. In writing this I'm thinking that whilst I'm using and have "mm" as the active unit (as shown in the bottom right window border) EPC is returning the errors in "thou" ??
Apologies if this has already been reported

Having seen the file, the output is indeed in metric.
What's causing the confusion is that the DRC report is using absolute co-ordinates, while the file was using relative ones. When the relative co-ordinates are disabled, the error locations do match the file. |

This was reported by another user a couple of days ago, but the problem could not be reproduced when we saw his file. This file was in fact damaged, and we're still awaiting feedback as to whether the problem has persisted with the repaired file.
It might be as well to forward a copy of your design to support for checking as well. |
