We have been using a standard Nad 83 Zone 17N projection file to attach Microstation files for the last few years, despite having an offset Global Origin in the .DGN file.  After our upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.1, that file no longer functions as it has for the last few years and is now moving our data to an incorrect location.  I've modified the file with a False Easting and Northing to accommodate our Global Origin and this works fine.

My question is, was this feature NOT working properly for the last few years and ArcPro 3.1 "corrected" the issue?  Or has the functionality been broken and will this new behaviour be corrected?  It doesn't matter either way, we have a methodology to make it work, but before I roll out a new standard Projection file I'd like to know if that's wasted effort and added confusion.

Thanks!
