Curtain Panel Not Centered

[NKramer]

I have been using the reporting parameters to roll our "curtain wall" doors into actual curtain wall doors. (Previously we could not access width and height to use in formulas so we had to use real doors on a wall panel...) However, the center of the curtain panel does not seem to end up at the center. It always seems to be off by 3-1/4" regardless of size.

Currently the only fix to have the panel line up with the opening is to align the edges and not the centers. However, this creates problems when you dimension to the "center" of the door.

Is there something I am missing or doing wrong? Has anyone seen this?

I have the same problem with RAC 2011, with last weeks update.

Still trying to find the problem/solution.

Anyone else?

When you bring in the family, click "overwrite the existing version...."
That could be it - note this is fixed in web update 1

I have tried overwriting the existing version as well as deleting the family from the project and reloading it. The same thing happens when the panel is loaded into a new project, both using WU1.

I've corrected this problem for myself using a template from 2010.
Seems like the template in 2011 is the problem.
Hope this helps you all.

It very well may be that the "origin" in the 2011 template got moved. I dont mean which Ref Plane is marked as Origin, but where the hidden origin actually is. Un pin everything, and move the entire assembly (reference planes and all) in the correcting direction by that amount. Ill bet it goes back to normal behavior.

Ive see it with Annotation families a LOT.
