I'm using Structure 2018 and am having a problem with the 2DREPSTR command. When running the command on a viewport only the centerlines will show up with no line work for the steel. This happens on actual models or xrefs. The models are located in plant space so coordinates like x 170000 y 110000 z 100000. When the models or xrefs are moved closer to 0,0,0 the command works perfectly through the viewport.

Also, when running the same command in model space, the 2D line work/block is created but scaled and moved towards the 0,0,0 coordinate. Centerlines show up correct and in the correct spot but line work for the steel is what is scaled and created in the incorrect position. Shows up really small. Once again when the model or xref is moved close to 0,0,0 command works perfectly creating the 2d block with centerlines on top of the steel objects.

I'm at a loss as to a setting that in AutoCAD 2017 or Cadworx that might be causing this. Anyone ever seen this before?

I have seen it before but only on Structure 2017/2017 R1. What made it even more perplexing is that it would work 100% on some computers and on other computers the scaling issue would show up. I am thinking it is related to some sort of AutoCAD Setvar like INSUNITS or similar, but have not had success in locating the cause. We just did the 2dreps on the PC's that worked correctly.

Interesting. Sounds like needle in a haystack scenario trying to find a variable that might alter this. I've been playing around with both the DWGUNITS and INSUNITS with no solution so far. Guess I will keep hunting and thanks for the feedback!
