Then your sprinkler definition box will want to be inserted, rotated and each value set individually

Cause:

Your sprinkler definition block is corrupt

Solution:

1. Turn on and unlock the layer ACC1.

2. Search for the blue boxes which define the sprinkler properties. By default they will be near the coordinates (50,450)

3. Use the CB command to find your total count. Erase all of them from the drawing

4. Type PURGE, select the block named 'blkrdef1' and purge it from your drawing.

5. Define a new sprinkler.
