The short answer is "tradition". That way the head is always in the same place on all drawings, no matter how long they become.
So I will hazard a guess here and say that if you create your A3 sheet with origin at bottom left (as A3 will never get longer), it will work properly. I have seen sheets defined in 'reverse'.
Unfortunately, redefining the cells and sheet seed did NOT work:
What else can be wrong?

Can you send me your sheet seed and cell library, and I will have a look? I have emailed you separately with my version of an A3 sheet - see if that works.

It turned out that the shifting-error was caused by selecting an Annotation Group other than None when defining the dgnlib.
Just to add to this - the DGNLIB had an annotation group drawn in it. This was being replicated in all sheets, at its original position, while the saved views created when making the profiles 'moved' off to the right.
The DGNLIB should not contain anything other than the 'seed' named boundary, and the drawing and sheet models, in terms of displayed/drawn elements.
I am having a similar issue when trying to create plan-profile drawings from a plan-profile sheet seed dgnlib I have created. I cannot seem to solve it though. I made sure that my alignment in my sheet seed definition does not have a feature definition assigned to it and that there are no annotation groups or annotation definitions in the sheet seed dgnlib. All of my profile views shift off to the right of where they are supposed to be.
Below is what the sheet seed looks like:
But this is what the sheets generated from the sheet seed look like:
Here is the sheet seed dgnlib file: Zutari-Rail-Plan-Profile-A1-1_20000.dgnlib
Could anyone please provide me insight as to what is going on here?
