Today the Drawing workbench disappeared, I know that this is a profile issue but I thought lets give TechDraw a try.
I noticed that when I create a new page the locations of the editable text is not in the correct place , I also loaded the ANSI templates that Mario52 created and they have the same issue (see images below). If you use the Drawing Dimension tool it shown the points and lines to select out of the viewing window like they are scaled way too big, once you select the points and close the dialog box the dimension is placed in the correct position.
I looked in the TechDraw preferences but I dont see any obvious settings to adjust, I also opened the svg files with Inkscape and the XY locations of the editable text seem correct.
Am I missing a setting somewhere.
