Anyone ever experience your profile geometry randomly moving over by no specific number. Often I will open my drawing and several of my profiles are all messed up because the geometry moved. I have resorted to drawing circles at all the points so that if it moves I can reposition it. Super pain in the butt - Using Civil 3D 2012.

Nope...I will close my drawing and go back to it and several profiles will have moved. It has happened to a coworker as well and neither of us have been able to figure out why and how to stop it.
here is an example...I just saved my drawing, closed Civil 3d and re-opened...look at the images a.jpg is where the profile is supposed to be and b.jpg is where it ends up.
model space, or paper space view?
drefs?
If I have a drawing with the topo surface with a scale of 1:1000, and a separate drawing with the plan and profile at a scale of 1:500, I may see a shift. Generally, synchronize each d-ref will "fix" it. Sometimes an audit will make it work.
If you have a ucs other than world, or base point other than 0,0 it could cause issues as well.
Make sure layers are off, not frozen. Especially with drefs.
model space, or paper space view? - Model
drefs? - Yes 2

Padding - ?
Open my drawing this morning and ALL of them moved again. Good thing I put little circles to place them back where they belong. Driving my bonkers!
Edit the profile geometry with the profile layout tools. Verify that the grade break and PVI station values are correct.
