Metafile Flatshot tokens

Hello,

Hoping there is someone out there with experience using the inbuilt Flatshot token (not the autocad command) to produce 2D product drawings.

I have a tabletop product that is made up of smaller tops joined together. Each smaller top is a subassembly. The product draws a flatshot of the entire table, then each subassembly will draw its own flatshot for a more detailed view of each section.
I am using Parameter 4 of the flatshot token to specify the area of each section


My problem is that the positioning of the flatshots are inconstant.

In the attached screenshot you can see that parts 4,6, and 8 are positioned incorrectly, the rest are correct.
I have gone over my formulas many times and can't see a reason for this. Also the Y values of flatshots 2,4,6, and 8 are identical.
I would expect part 2 to be positioned incorrectly as well, as there is nothing differentiating it from 4,6, and 8.
I can formulate this out (if part # = 4 or 6 or 8.....) but i don't think i should have to, i can't see why 2 would work as intended but 4,6, and 8 don't.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
