Missing attribute in symbol builder image

I'm creating a basic user defined terminal with attributes both above and below. These attributes have a tag name, a prompt and a value of XX. I want the value XX to be visible on the image that is created when I save but it is not. 

 

On other symbols I have created it works fine, I can't figure out why this one is not working. Any ideas?

 

I have attached both Image .png file and the .dwg file.

Looks fine when I drag it into a file:

Delete all instances from your drawing and use the purge command. Then try again. Does that work?

Yes, the symbol works as intended. But the image dosen't show the attribute values for some reason.

The texts are there, they're just located outside of the square image because AutoCAD Electrical doesn't pay attention to the text justification of the attributes when generating the preview 😞

Adding some graphics will show them....

Thats intresting. I wonder why the attributes is vissible on some images but not others. I can't seem to find any differences.

I guess it has to do with the location/justification of the attributes in the other symbols. If you can post an example symbol where it works, maybe we can figure this out.

I changed the properties of the TAG1 and LOC attributes to visible.

The attachment contains the modified file.
