APL Point import not using Shared coordinate in Revit

Been working on this Revit file for a bit. We have a shared coordinate system that is moved and rotated based on the original Survey. PBP is in a convenient nearby location. when exporting points using the Internal coordinate system  they all come out relative to the survey point. And a few months ago i imported a number of site points using NEH and they all came in just fine as well. 

So today i bring in a point using the internal coordinate system and its off in space. Quick measurement says its come in relative to the PBP not the shared. Rotation is also accurate. 

So i opened point manager and all the points have jumped to PBP vs. shared. But when i export and explicitly choose internal the come out correct. Any idea why the import is not using the Survey point?

 

To clarify PBP was moved clipped and both points are pinned and on different workset. No evidence of them moving or and unclipped adjustment. Since installing APL2019 the import seems to have changed.

Note that manage points screen only shows coordinates in project internal coordinate system, you can still export them in the shared internal coordinate system.  I really need to add on to that form the ability to set which coordinate system is used to show the coordinates.  Nothing has change between 2018->2019 release with how or where the coordinate systems are applied.  If you can provide repro of what you are seeing I can take a look.

So i duplicated the coordinate system and now when i select the old system it shows PBP coordinates, when i select the duplicated coordinate system it shows the SB points. Both are exactly the same. Any idea?

Now the points are importing correctly. Should not need a second duplicate coordinate system correct?

Apologies chubbard, but I am not sure how that would have happened.  Correct you should not need a second coordinate system that matches.  It would be a Revit issue though, not an APL one as the values shown in that form are simply what Revit has stored for the Coordinate system.  You can try posting to the Revit forum, but without knowing the exact steps to reproduce that I doubt you will get much response.
