Mapkey for table placement by ABS Coordinates

Help....

I have a mapkey that updates a format and adds a new table from
file. I place this table via ABS Coordinates. The mapkey works for the
majority of my drawings. When it does not work it places the table
outside of my drawing. It seems like it is placing it at 5x the sheet
scale. (This particular drawing is a 2D .dxf import). If I place the
table then manually using the exact same coordinates, it places the
table correctly.

What am I doing wrong here? Any suggestions?

"Thanks Buddies!"

Upon further investigation it seems the draft entities have a draft
scale of 5:1. The ABS placements reads from this draft scale.
Hmmmm....

Is there a way to place at a consistent scale so my mapkey works for and
draft scale?

If I build into the mapkey to place the draft scale at 1:1, how can I
change it back (store it) if it was at 5:1 or 2:1?
