Custom Muntin Question

Does anybody know why the load CAD block / custom muntin tool you use on window lites does not build the custom muntins to the centerline of the linework?  Is there a workaround for this or am I doing something wrong?  Pics below.

 

Thanks, Jim

Apparently it's programmed to be offset to one side, maybe even a little more.

You shoudlprobably report this to Chief as a "Bug".

Thanks for quick response.  I will do so.

I did a quick experiment. While my cad block lines were exactly drawn corner to corner, I got similar unexpected results at each corner for the relationship between the center of the line and the center of the muntin. Upon inspection, I can see that for these muntins, the cad lines represent the top edge of the muntin. So, I can adjust the cad lines to move to the top edge and re-load the muntin.

Thanks Robert for looking at this.  I sent this in yesterday to tech support.  To me it seems like it should just build to the centerline.  If Chief has a follow-up, I'll post the reply.
