Crooked Wires

[Anonymous]

Hello.
I am having trouble with wires becoming crooked when I import an I/O list or update a block.

For example. I have a DO PLC card with interposing relays pulled from the symbol library. I have re-imported the I/O list from an excel file a few times, and now my lines to my interposing relay from the PLC are crooked, as well as the lines from the other side of the relay to my neutral. Not all of them are this way. On one drawing only half the lines may be crooked. They aren't crooked and probably will hardly show up when printing, but I would like to get this right as it might be a template for further drawings.

This is very frustrating... any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? It's happening in all my drawings, not just the DO drawings, and I'm fairly certain it's due to updating blocks and/or reimporting the I/O list.

Thanks for any help in advance.

When i said "They aren't crooked and...", I meant they aren't VERY crooked.

Do you have any running OSnaps turned on while you're doing this stuff?

Explode the block on the drawing with the crooked wires. Examine where the
crooked wire connects to the wire connection X?TERMxx attribute. Do a LIST
on the wire LINE entity and on the X?TERMxx attribute defintion. See if the
wire line ends exactly at the wire connection attribute's insertion point.

I may have had my osnaps on.

I exploded the block and did a list on both the line and the X?TERMxx attribute and they connect at the same point. Like I said before, this only happened on some of the lines and only after I updated the blocks/imported the I/O list. I specifially checked my Digitals to make sure they were strait because i was having similar problems with my analog drawings, which i corrected manually. So I know the lines were strait after I insterted the Relays and before I updated the relay block (making the text smaller).

I have attached an example. You can see that some of the wires are strait while others aren't.

I can correct this manually and probably will, but I would like to avoid this in the future. Any help is really appreciated.
