I'm having a strange issue when tagging elements with an attached leader, the tag, leader, and arrowhead are inexplicably offset from the tagged element.  I've attached an image of this happening with a ceiling tag.  We are a multi-discipline company and this is happening in both the architectural and mechanical models.  The simplest work around is to detach the leader and manually point them to the element, but this is creating a lot of extra work for our mechanical engineer when tagging his air terminals as there are often multiple in one space in close proximity, he is having to double-check every tag to make sure it is pointing to the correct element.

When creating a new project with the same template and using the same tag families this problem does not occur which leads me to believe it is a problem with the project file.

Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Thanks in advance

I have never seen this and I have not seen anyone else bring up this problem.

Did you check another machine to make sure it is not a graphics card issue?

It is happening on every machine I've opened the file with. I will continue to look into it and post here if I find out anything, I will most likely end up contacting Autodesk 

Thanks for taking a look
