Tool Palette - Blocks won't insert correctly

Hey all,

 

So my goal is to create a tool palette with all of the different legend blocks for mechanical work.

The blocks have all been created before I started working here.

I have the actual palettes created. Most blocks insert correctly (sizing, etc) but some seem to come in way to large. For example a 2x4 light will insert at 50x100....

I have made sure the actual block files are the right size, my INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE, INSUNITSDEFTARGET are all set to 0 for the sake of switching between imperial and metric.  

If anyone has a fix it or ideas on what needs to be changed it would be a great help!

 

-Garrett

Start a new file. Insert this one 'wrong' block, is it still sized incorrectly?

I have been testing all of my blocks in our workplace's blank templates (metric and imperial)

So...

Is it sized correctly in the new File?

Not one of your stock templates. A new blank empty drawing file.

Find out if it is something to do with the Template first.

It is not sizing correctly within the new file either

Can you post one of the offending blocks?

Check the source file: you may have added the wrong block into your TP.

I just started the palette over, seems to work fine now. Thanks for everyone's input.
