    Default Family Shifts when upgraded to 2009

    Our projector screen family shifts 100ft forward when a project is upgraded from 2008 to 2009. Granted this is a rather old family (a bit clunky), but was still created in 2008. I checked and the family still has the origin defining reference planes in the same locations in 08 and 09.

    The attached project is in 2008. You will see the difference when it is upgraded to 2009.

    Any ideas or reasons why? Has anybody else come across anything similar?

    The screen's origin is off slightly fwiw...I can't test if fixing it makes any difference right now but I'll take a look later.

    I noticed that the origin is off but I dont understand why. The center f/b and l/r are set to define origin but the origin is still some 100ft behind it. Does this have anything to do with the projector not lieing on the actual ceiling host in the family (as the ceiling sketch not being editable)?

    This is probably just something that needs to be remade but I haven't had the time and originally I tried it a couple of times with the same off origin results....
