Label positions are not consistent between Family and project environments

[StrRevitEng]

Hi

I created a Detail item family and inserted some labels from a generic annotation family.

My problem is that the label position in the family editor does not correspond with the position in the project environment which results in the labels overlapping and not being on the same level.

In the picture you  can see how the labels are positioned in the family editor (green and blue rectangles)  - the way I want it to be, and how it they appear in the project all messy.

I tried using dimensions / grouping labels together (green one) but its still a mess.

You can also see the bottom labels I placed successfully using dimensions(1, 2, 3), but still the positioning the family editor is very weird.

Cans someone please help?

Attach your Family (RFA) to a Reply Post. I'll fix it and return it to you.

What scale do you have set in the Family vs in the Project View?

Thanks for making me notice - Project 1:50, Family 1:10.
Matching the scale to 1:10 in the project sets the labels into place as they are placed in the Family.

But now the dimensions and label sizes are bloated.

I can still draw dimensions in 1:10 in order to see what I'm doing and then go back to 1:50 to position everything though.
