Moving Revision Table

For years we have used the same title block that includes a revision table.  Now that I've upgraded to Inventor 2017, this table seems to move.  It's in one location in the template, but when I create a new drawing based on that template, it shifts to a slightly different location.  Any ideas on what might cause this?  Hopefully the attached images will show what I'm trying to explain.

 

TEMPLATE:

NEW DRAWING BASED ON TEMPLATE (note that revision table has shifted downward & overlaps title block)

It looks like your size is different now ..

 

 

not that it's shifted ..

 

The gaps above and below the text has changed. Thinking something maybe didn't migrate right 

 

 

go into the style and standard editor ...what is your heading gap?    Mine is .035

Michael,

 

You are correct!  I should have noticed that. The heading gap is set to .035 both for the revision table in the template & for the revision table placed in a new drawing.  The difference, though, seems to be what I guess would be called the minimum row height.

 

The revision table in my template allows the row height to be dragged until it basically touches the text.  When a new revision table is placed, though, the row height cannot be dragged down as far.  Again, hopefully the image will explain what I mean.

So I believe the row height I had in the template's revision table was lower than the minimum allowed for in Inventor 2017.  Since I don't have time to be overly concerned about matching row heights, I simply deleted the old revision table, & then placed a new one.  When I placed the new one I made sure that I did not adjust the row heights from the default.  This seems to have corrected the issue.  I just have a revision block that's slightly taller now.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
