Pipe segment skewed on drawing but not in the model

Advance Steel 2026

This has got me baffled. I have a simple Wall Rail that looks fine in the model, but when I create an assembly one of the pipe segments is shown and detailed skewed. I have attached a screen capture and the model. Please help me figure this one out. Thank you in advance.

It looks like you inserted the assembly's coordinate system (WCS) slightly rotated; that explains the skewed detailing.

So to prove what your saying, I selected the assembly main part and right clicked and selected the "Show Assembly CS" option, and you are correct, the Assembly CS was slightly off. Interesting that all my years using Advance Steel, that has never happened to me, but at least you pointed me in the right direction. Thank you!
