Manually typing values to place instrument data is acting odd...

[W Wilkerson]

On my light plot, I am trying to manually enter some position data for channel numbers, for example, but the numbers seem to be offset. If I type 0" into the label 1 x-coordinate and then hit enter, the value changes to 26'5" and the channel is twenty-six feet five inches away.

If I type -26'5", the channel is behind the unit.

Any ideas?

I had this problem years ago and feel like it might have been associated with repositioning the origin. I have inherited this file from the rep designer, and do not know its past at all.

Thank You,

Are you placing text boxes on a design layer or are you using the label legend manager?
