In Rhino 8 when relocate the gumball and save, the gumball will go back to its original position when the next time the file is opened. In previous version the new location was saved.
Hi Chad - so far this seems to work as expected here. Can you post a simple example file with an indication where the gumball should be?
-Pascal
Here you go. I saved the file after relocating the Gumball to the positions shown below. When the files is opened they are back in the center of the object.

Hi Chad - this works here - that is, your file opens with the gumball centered but if I move it and save, it reopens with the moved one.

. Ah - block instance. Can you repeat the problem if the selection is a polysurface?
-Pascal
It’s doing it with the polysurface as well. When I open the file you posted, the gumball is in the center of the block (triangle) and the line (which is not a block).
We are experiencing this on 6 separate machines.

Hi Chad - please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here…

Hi Chad - thanks… a long shot but can you please try blocking these two plug-ins in Options > Plug-ins page:
Rhino plugins that do not ship with Rhino G:\Castaneda Engineering\CAD References_Commands\Rhino\RATplus_071118\Rhino\RATplus_071118.rhp “[Rhino.NET](http://rhino.net/) SDK” 0.0.0.0 C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\V-Ray for Rhinoceros\V7\VRayForRhino.rhp “V-Ray for Rhino”
Then close and re-open Rhino - does this make any difference?
-Pascal
It still occurs. I disabled all the plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino, closed rhino. Reopened the file and relocated the gumball. Then saved and reopened and the gumball reset to the center.
@chad1 This file opens like this in Rhino 7:
gumball-location-rhino7.3dm (218.2 KB)
And this file opens like this in Rhino 8:
gumball-location-rhino8.3dm (174.2 KB)
What I do see is that the Rhino 7 file opened in Rhino 8 shows this:
When I opened your file the gumball was in the center of the object. Do you get that as well when you open the one I posted? (the version 8 file)
Sorry I lost track of this for a while. It looks like you may have figured this out. It looks like its a problem with opening a Rhino 7 file in Rhino 8. I have everyone in the office on Rhino 8 now and it seems like the issue is resolved.
that makes sense as the rhino 8 gumball has a little more smarts in relation to location than the v7 one did…
