Foot print of set

[Paul Dennant]

Hello all, I am a new vectorworks user. I have a problem with a template I have set up when I open up the lighting pipe tool, 0 in opions then tick show foot print it has an y off set of -24000mm which when I try the set to 0 just goes back -24000m. anyone know what I have done wrong as if I open a spotlight template all works fine.

don't really want to start again as have put ground plan and most of 3d building in my new template set up legends and symbols

If you open a new blank document not from any template at all, does it also work there?

If so, you may be able to use Layer Import to bring your template's info into a new document which can get around the issue, depending upon whats in it:

The issue you observe is a result of a user-defined origin. Certain plug-in fields adjust their displayed values based in the origin offset. It's a bit of a long-standing bug. Using the control point to adjust the footprint should function as expected.
