Short description of error
[Linking to a collection from an external file results in the initial position being wrong. The linked collection is offset to a random position.]
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[This video shows the steps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dWsuKP_YZTWK4X8KAq5LOb-bCblciy0t/view?usp=sharing]
[In a blank file, Link to the collection 'SINGLE STAIR' from the file 'SINGLE _ stair.blend'. The position come in offset from the 3D cursor quite dramatically.
If you do a Library Override on this linked collection, then it suddenly jumps to the correct location. ]
Hi, thanks for the report. I can confirm when linking collection instance. This can be avoided by disabling
Instance collectionsduring linking.There's something wrong with the "SINGLE STAIR" collection in the source file. I did a test where I created a new collection and called it 'SINGLE STAIR 2', moved the items from the original, and this new collection comes in correctly when linked into a new file.
Maybe the "SINGLE STAIR" collection is using this offset:
Ah, that would probably do it. Thank you.
No issue here then. Please close it @Christopher-Tyler.
