Fill Command doesn't allow structures to be created far away

Trying to use the fill command for a location far away from where you are located (in my case i was at about 0, 0 and I tried to create a structure at about 2500 250 2500) will tell you that it cannot place blocks outside of the world. Though, if I'm close by to the location it does work. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not.
