symbol insertion point

[jmartinarch]

I have a couple of 2d ( well this is another issue - I say 2d but they call themselves 3d symbols although there is nothing 3d about them that I know of) symbols that I created and gave a specific insertion point. Lets say it is the upper left corner of said symbol. In the create symbol window - radio button -insertion point - next mouse click selected. I click the upper left corner. I insert the symbol and the insertion point have moved to center of symbol or along an edge of symbol but to the center of some geometry. Not the point I selected.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

You might review the help videos and such on creating symbols.

It appears to me you might have several overlapping issues that make troubleshooting difficult.

Make sure you have the symbol insertion tool modes set correctly.

It's important that the last mode "Align Actual Insertion Point Mode" is selected.
