I finally got things straightened out, I had to uninstall and manually remove all associated acade folders

acade 2015

vertical

single phase

no rungs or bus

 

in the screen shot I started a new drawing inside the project. I put a 2x2 box in the upper left of my title block (to be deleted later) as a consistant starting place.

then just insrted a ladder as I have been doing for the last three days working on this project and I got what you see

One thing to watch out for is your project properties path for the schematic library symbols. This can affect your ladder reference number because when AutoCAD Electrical draws a ladder, it inserts a block (WD_MLRH or WD_MLRV) for the first reference number. If your drawing properties are for inches and your project is pointing at a metric library set, say IEC-60617, the reference number will look huge as it did in your first image.
