Brad, As always you have the correct answer. It was the keepout layer for the board outline. When I put back the board outline the new components magically appeared close to the PCB.

Brad, Besides other people's comments, I believe that what you are seeing is sometimes common. Used to be that when I updated a PCB and it brought in the new components, they were typically in the very top right quadrant of the working space (to hell and gone). I don't know what has changed but more recently I get the components coming in just to the right and upwards from my board outline. So if your components are coming in way up in the upper right corner, don't worry if they are all within the database limits. I don't know what it is caused by but it was doing that to me for years and only recently did it change to a more reasonable area to the right and upwards from my board outline. Actually I just thought of what it could have been that changed for me. Do you use the keepout layer for your board outlines? Here at my new employer that is something I am now doing different than previously, we use the Keepout layer for our board outline. I will have to test that, previously I used Mech Layer 1 for my board outlines and typically had nothing on the keepout layer.

I was able to delete the offending item by selecting all and deselecting the visible components and then deleting the item. I still however get new components placed in the (40000, 47000) region which is in outer space.
