Issues with the Window Schedule's Annotations being offset or incorrect

The annotations inside the window elevation viewport is showing the annotation text and arrow offset (image 01), but within the actual annotation space, it is correct (image 02). Has anyone had this issue? i have tried everything to fix this annotation offset, but the preview window always shows it offset.

Hi All,

 

Thank you for your comments. For now, the "solution" for me is to offset the text itself in the annotation window, so that in the schedule view and layout/publish view, it looks correct.

Not sure why this glitch is happening, very frustrating as it offsets not only label texts, but also normal text boxes with linework arrows. 

 

Thank you everyone

Is the text in the wrong position if you place it on a Layouts? On a published PDF?

Hi,

It seems like a scaling issue to me or an anchor point issue since the arrow is correct, only the text is misplaced.
Can you set the text anchor point to Right?

Hi Laszlo,

Yes, the published PDF also comes out with the label offset, (below is the layout page where the schedule is placed). not sure why or how I can fix it

Hi Cosmin, 

See the screenshot of the setting, I'm not sure it is an anchor point issue, since i tried that, the arrow and text still remained offset when i view the schedule outside the annotation window. Adjusting the Connection point also does nothing.

I would try to play around with the settings in the Pointer panel, like Pointer Line Connection, Connect Label to setting, etc. Hopefully, one of them fixes it.

You could also try copy/cutting the Label, then pasting it. When pasting elements, Archicad can fix them if there is something wrong with the data structure, so that might help.

You could also make sure you are using the latest Ac27 Update, as many bugs are fixed in updates.

If all else fails, you might want to draw the text and the line as two separate elements instead of drawing a Label.

If you adjust these to 99, does it correct itself?

 

That is the trick we have had to do to somethings, due to the use of our standard font

Hi Lazlo,

 

I tried making it a simple text and a line with an arrow head on the end; the text still offsets!

The copy and re paste method also doesnt work.

Not sure what i can do anymore, cause even using simple text makes doesnt work.... 

Didn't find the answer?
