I need to move the box dimension down a little further as it overlaps the box item number. I am going to the global variables/shop drawings/2delevations/ elevation dim offset baseline and elevation dim offset veritical but this does not move the dim in the drawings. Anyone know if I am looking in the wrong location?Movento locking device duplicated at product base point

I would like to know where I can identify 2 things: 1. Where do I locate the information that tells mv to draw the elevation label. 2. After purging the label and then redrawing the wall, the block attributes are not coming in at the right location.island detection default settings
