Insertion point of construct incorrect in view

[tysonh]

Hey All, new to this whole thing so I may be missing something simple but when creating a floor plan view of all my constructs one inserts in the incorrect position. all constructs were build off the same Xref'd grid, so should all align correctly when creating a view I'd assume. attached are some screen caps of the constructs as well as the resulting view. I can manually move the items within the view to line up sort of correctly but the strange thing is that it was working and then something changed and it broke.... any information would be greatly appreciated. 

this is what it should look like (manually moved the view into place.)

this is what it actually looks like when inserted. (below)

this is the where the insertion point should be for all constructs based off the grid layout.

this is where the insertion point of this drawing is for some reason. 

Any help would be great. 

thanks,

here is some additional information for reference. 

here is the a look at the drawing of the construct that has the goofed up view.  (above)

here is a view of the drawing of a construct that inserts properly based off my Xref Grid.

I would assume all construct views would insert based of their Origin. (X,Y,Z Zero) but I have one that just doesn't..

Welcome to the community!

It is hard to say without having the drawings at hand, but I can think of two things to check in the errant file:

• Has the UCS changed in the file?  Unless you have something set up special for this project, I would expect them all to be World UCS.  But if your errant file has a UCS with an offset origin....
• What is the value of the INSBASE System Variable in the errant file?  If it is not 0,0,0, that may be responsible for the offset.

@David_W_Koch

it was the INSBASE system variable, for some reason it was set way out of whack, not sure how or what I did to change it but now that I've set it back to 0,0,0, it's working correctly!
