Revit leaders misplacing

[pkrogMANXP]

We are running into an issue in Revit 2017 wherein the leader lines for a text box are not placing correctly. I am including a picture to illustrate the problem. When zoomed out, the leader lines appear almost correct, except that they are a little longer than they ought to be. When zoomed in, and when printed, the lines jump down awkwardly. The picture has both of these conditions, as well as a normally behaving  leader above them. The problem appears to occur near the cut line of a Horizontal View Break.

I've seen something like this happen when the elements being annotated are sitting far, far away from the Project Internal Origin.

The Project base point is located at 0,0,0. Nothing in the Projects is located more than a few hundred yards from that point.

Unclip Project Base Point, right-click on it and select Move to Startup Location. Does it move?  

[pkrogMANXP]

It did not move.

Well, scratch that one off the list. 

Is it replicable?  Or just one view?  Views can get corrupted. 

You can post the file for us to examine if you want.

I just successfully attempted to replicate it with a different view. Any cropped view region messes with leaders if the border of the crop region is too close to the leader. "Too close" in this instance is actually "a reasonable distance away that shouldn't interfere with anything".

I can't post the file, it is accessible only by project members and is proprietary.

I don't understand. Are you saying Revit is throwing a Warning?  

[pkrogMANXP]

No...It is doing exactly what i posted in the first picture. The leaders that are in close proximity to the cropped region border are deforming.

Remove the view break and reapply it.

[pkrogMANXP]

Already tried multiple variations on doing that.

[ToanDN]

Maybe using Use straight instead of curved leaders.

[pkrogMANXP]

While the straight leaders do appear to not suffer from the same problem, it isn't exactly a solution. We use curved leaders as a standard, and changing it here would require changing our standard and changing it everywhere in the project.

[ToanDN]

Then you need to get rid of the view break, duplicate the view as dependent and place both views on sheet.

Thanks for sharing your issue. Our office is having this same problem, and curved leaders are also our office standard. I hope there is a better solution for this soon.
