I am adding the CenterXY option as I type this. However, you can adjust the Z position of an XRef (or symbol) by either of the following methods:- From an Ortho (plan) view, select Move (2D), Move Z, enter the distance to move, select the XRef or Symbol.
- From an Elevation view, select Move (3D), indicate the distance to move (up or down), select the XRef or Symbol.
But here's a question for you:If CenterXY is selected, should the current Z-Base have any effect or should it always be inserted at its original Z elevation?

If your zh is an astronomical number like 6.41235e34, you can't move it back to zero no matter how you try. I have tried everything I could think of to get this to work and it won't. How we get those astronomical z heights I don't know, I can't figure that one out either. Because DataCAD will not allow you to enter that number in any dialog box I have been able to find. Yet some how we still get drawing elements including symbols, lines, xrefs, etc. located at these places. 2d elements are easy you just change their z-base and height. But 3d elements, symbols and xrefs you can't change, you have to delete them and reinsert them at the correct z-base and z-height. I had a drawing today with 4 symbols at some point past Pluto and had to delete them and reinsert them, luckily it was a small drawing without too many symbols in it.
Also, I have noticed that recently when have a drawing like this and you go to an elevation view and zoom extents you can never recover from that extents view. Even tough you find and fix all of the entities with bad z-bases, when you go to any elevation view you are still at the astronomical extent and when you hit recalc DataCAD gives you an invalid extents message.
