view vs layout text discrepancy

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 13:59:32 GMT

I sent a preliminary .pdf to a consultant, and noticed it had a strangely placed text block. Assuming I'd accidentally moved it, i went back to the plan view and... it was in the right place! Checking the Layout of the drawing sheet, though, it shows up in the wrong place. Any ideas why it would do this? Its the only text block with this problem. Here's a screenshot of the two (view tab, layout tab) at the same time, showing the different position. Oh, and there are three other identical text blocks on other columns that aren't behaving this way.

Could it have been mirrored, or rotated? That would change the anchor point.

What happens when you delete it and replace it with a new text instance?

Thanks Erika, that 's a good fix. It still doesn't really explain why it happened in the first place, but working with CAD (or computers in general) is sometimes like that. I'll keep my eyes peeled for if it happens again, and look for recurring patterns.
