For example since day 1 I've wrestled with line work staying fixed to cogo coordinates, trying everything, 'linkline', checking all the boxes 'link line work to points', and yet when opened my current?ÿ drawing this morning, my line work vertices had shifted .4' off the point nodes.?ÿ
The only thing I can think of (without seeing the DWG and associated coordinate file) is if the DWG is in a non-World UCS. At the Command prompt:
Command: UCS
Current UCS is unnamed.
[?/3point/Delete/Entity/Origin/Previous/Restore/Save/View/X/Y/Z/ZAxis/World]/<World>: w
Otherwise, you might take a copy of the DWG and run the File -- Drawing Cleanup command on it.
I hope this information helps.

@ladd-nelson Thank you Sir. I'll give that a go. Drawing is set up in a standard SP Projection but I'm still getting a handle on what all boxes to check or not check to make everything work as it should. It's really more of an irritant to have to move line work back to the point nodes after they've mysteriously been shifted off. I suspected that perhaps the issue somehow involved using 2D plines with 3D coordinates?
Usually it's some box buried somewhere I didn't check or should have checked that ends up being the problem.?ÿ
In the interest of figuring out what's going on here are a couple of screen shots of the settings.?ÿ

@jph Dude, I learned something new.?ÿ Appreciate it.?ÿ But you can still have the osnaps on at the same time.
Point object snap is a must. Just hover over any part of the point and snap to the node.
Also I strongly recommend SPT0 for point symbols. You don't want a + or an x as the end point snap will snap to those. If you must have that x as the pt symbol set your pt symbol to be SPT0 then modify the pdmode system variable to display a + or x without the possibility of snapping to the end points of the symbol. Caution with that as the pdmode system variable can effect other things such as leaders aka crows feet on bearing/distance labels. With dash dot the dot may not display a dot as its dependent on the pdmode system variable.
@williwaw Those settings look fine to me. If you'd like to send me an example DWG with its associated CRD that is showing the problem, I'll be happy to take a look. Back channel to lnelsonATcarlsonswDOTcom.
@ladd-nelson Copy that. Cleaned everything up in this one, bit tedious. Happens again and suspect it will, I'll bounce a copy your way. Thank you.
