Design Master Electrical Entities Insert Skewed or in the Wrong Location

When I insert one-line diagram graphics, devices, schedules, or any other Design Master Electrical entities on the drawing, they come in skewed, in a different location than the one I specified, or don't seem to insert at all. What's happening, and how do I fix it?​

Cause​

Your drawing view has become skewed. As a result, the point you think you're selecting in three-dimensional space will not be the point where Design Master Electrical tries to insert those entities.

For entities like a receptacle graphic or a schedule, this will cause them to insert somewhere else on the drawing.

For complex entities like one-line diagram graphics, this can also cause them to appear skewed, especially when inserting several graphics at once using one of the Generate commands.

Solution​

The solution is to reset your view to "Top" using AutoCAD's view cube or commands on the View ribbon, shown below. The entities should then insert normally.
