Cabling not centered on connector

Cabling not centered on connector

I am having an issue where routed cables are offset from the single connector entry port instead of centered around it. Is there a setting that controls this? I don't recall this ever happening before and after many tests it seems to be most pronounced when using multi stranded cables (twisted pair shown in the attached image). 

 

This is producing some unwanted artifacts when moving into drawings and flat manufacturing harness.

What version of Creo? Someone I work with is having the same issue.

This may not be the correct way, but the only way I've found around this is to make a "routing" wire with zero diameter in the center of the connector. After that the rest of the wires will fall into place around the routing wire.

I don't know if this is helpful, and IDK if you're using Creo Schematics, but we use an entry point for each conductor that coresponds to their real life positions.
