    Default Annotative block moving when changing scale

    Hi all, I've having a small problem with an annotative block I have created.

    When I change the annotative scale in model space a couple of things happen.

    Firstly the block doesn't seem to be attached to its insertion point and jumps arouns a bit.

    Secondly the text I have in the block moves away from the block as well.

    I have attached a selection of screen prints with the block at different annotation scales so you can see (albeit slightly small) the movement of the block.

    I have also attached the block itself.

    Many thanks in advance for any help with sorting out this problem.

    Jon.

    Ok, scrub that, I had annotative text in the block and that seems to be screwing it up.

    I've recreated the block and just used standard text and that seems to be working properly through all the scales.

    Bah...my joy was shortlived.

    Still seems to be jumping around and not attached to its insertion point. The text seems to be staying in place now though. Also it isn't happening on as many diferent scales.

    Most confusing.

    Please help!

    I have the same issue!

    My annotative block that contains an attribute is moved automatically as the annotation scale changes!

    What might be the issue here?

    Is the insertion point (0,0,0 in the block editor) "away" from the block geometry? If so, distance from entities to insertion point will scale up with the scale.
