Attribute icon shows text offset

marymAGTL5 — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 13:48:46 GMT

I have a handful of attributed blocks that I've created. When I add them to the tool palettes, they show the text outside of the graphic. Has anyone had this issue? How do I get the text to show in the graphic (square/triangle, etc)?

block drawing attached.

I did a "saveas" to create this block from another that I created and that one works & shows just fine.

no way I could replicate your issues. seems perfectly fine, as expected.

Just try to insert THIS block into the new drawing and drag-n-drop to TP.

It appears to be affected by how you add the Block to the Palette.

If you drag the Block in from the file to the palette it sets the text out of the block. If you drag the block from the drawing into the palette, it places it correctly.

Thanks for the explanation. I had to purge the block then add it back to the drawing before it would show properly. Luckily, this only happened to 2 blocks. Thanks for the fix.
