Adding Symbolic Lines to an existing Door Family - Without moving doors

I would like to add Symbolic Lines to an existing Door Family to show ADA clearances.

 

Adding the actual lines are straight forward. The trouble arises when I reload the family into the project and all of those doors are then re-centered based on the new extents of the symbolic lines. This shifts every door by 9" and causes many alignment issues and errors.

 

Any ideas of a solution here?

Edit the family and draw the push/pull side floor clearances using symbolic lines then reload it back in project.  That shouldn't shif the door.  Share your family here to see ehat is up with it.

@ToanDN  That is what I have done. The problem is that the family shifts when reloaded. 

See description above.
