Grid Bubble Scaling

Anonymous
Not applicable
Does anybody know what causes the problem shown in the graphic below? Every so often, one of our drafters asks me about this, and I don't know how it gets to this condition.

If I open a blank drawing and insert a structural grid from scratch, the bubble stays connected to the line like it should. If I copy one of these "good" bubble to the offending drawing, it works correctly, but the other bubbles still offset themselves. Check both bubble shows that they are both from the "Structural Grid.apx" and are both the "Structural Grid Object". I set every single parameter identical, and the originals still will not work! What the heck? How can the same object set up the same way react in two completely different ways? What am I missing?

This happens if you change the scale and move the bubble.

The bubbles should have the insertion point at the end of the gridline, and scale realtive to it. If you mirror them or move them, as the center hotspot is the insertion point and they scale around that, in the drawing they appear moved.

Lost quite a bit of time on it myself ...

I just spent some time changing scales, moving the bubbles, ungrouping, copying, and changing the , and I can't make it fail. Could this be a leftover problem from previous releases of 8.1? I'm using R2C, but the plan with the problem originated in an earlier version.

By the way, the ones that are messed up seem to be justified by an implied corner at the intersection of the top and right quadrants.
