I have some process/manufacturing facility drawings which are nested XREFs (attached).
I have a weird glitch where my drawing xref insertion point shifts without my knowledge.
Weirder --and more important-- is that when I move the xref back (and fix 0,0,0 and INSBASE settings) all dimensions end up stretching over a few lengths greater than the entire compound itself --- back to refer to the XREF's general location before it gets moved.
I move the XREF to align with the working drawing, and the drawing dimensions stretch BACKWARD to some point within the original XREF area. I move an XREF a quarter mile up (north) and to the RIGHT, and the dimensions in the active, editable drawing jump down and LEFT. Checking the dimension shift distances: on a sample of two horizontal dimensions, one 48" and the other 65" --the X-distances are 15028" and 13572" respectively-- 1456" difference. The 65" distance is over 2000" to the left of the 65" dimension, anyway. This arithmetic is beyond me.
The XREF is the base drawing, and has been finished and static for some while --I don't modify it unless there is a major project underway & I am paranoid about it, too.
Anyway, I turn all the layers on in the base drawing, thaw & unlock them, and I try the stretch command as well as the move command, but one origin point of all daughter drawing dimensions (over a hundred -- I can only guess) go and get happy feet.
What tidy logical explanation is there for this? Autodesk doesn't issue patches for LT, right? I wish I could get some help with this.
