      When I drag "Drafting Symbols" into my layout page, and then edit them, the box I am editing jumps to the side. When I hit enter to finish, it stays to the side and then does not show the adjustment. This especially happens with the square the has the 1 in it, and the elevation markers. Anyone else have this issue? Am I doing something wrong?

      Thanks

        PC, not Mac, I'm presuming? I tried to recreate this, and I'm seeing it, too. Here's what I did:

        1. Place the box on a page.
        2. Double click on the "1" to change to a "2".
          Problem 1: The text jumps to the left. Known issue with LayOut 1, and part of why LayOut 1 is still in beta.
          Problem 2: I type a "2", and the text disappears. It's there, it's just that the text box is now sized incorrectly. To fix, I right clicked and ungrouped, then grabbed the edge of the text box and moved it to the right. The 2 reappeared. Selecting both and regrouping gave me what I wanted.

        Yea, ugly, I know. It will be (actually is - just not in your hands yet) fixed.

          Come on, Barry, you are leaking all kinds of info while getting others to sign NDA's

          (but I'm glad it's fixed, thanks)
