map displays mirrored

I have one map that I am using that displays mirrored. If I attach it in map it was working properly, but now it looks like it is mirrored even when I query it in vs. opening the file. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Any suggestions on what to try?

Thanks. in advance.

Joan,

could this be related to a user defined UCS or view in the source
drawing?

I have checked the ucs and it was set to bottom, I changed it to world but nothing happened. The view seems to be consistent with the other drawings, so it doesn't seem to be that. Thanks for your suggestions, do you have any other ideas. I could send you the file if that would help.
Thanks for any help.

I checked again and you were right the UCS is set to be mirrored from the world ucs. How do I get back to the world ucs so that my map is not mirrored?

Thanks again.

Joan,

the world UCS has to 'mirrow' option. Please check if the coordinate
system symbol (the x/y arrows displayed in the lower left corner of the
drawing) show a little square at the origin (a W in former ACAD
versions). Then you're sure the UCS is set to world. If there's no
square, enter UCS at the command line and select/enter the option to get
back to the world UCS.

If you are in UCS world mode and the drawing is still mirrowed then do
the following:

1- Go into the Tools menu and select 'Named UCS' or enter _+ucsman at
the command line. On the 'Named UCS' tab all available UCSs are listed
and the current one is selected. Check what it said about the Current
UCS just above that list. It should be 'Top'.
If it's set to 'Bottom' or anything else, exit the dialog box and choose
View > 3D Views > Top. That should solve the problem.

2- If not, could your Map coordinate system settings cause this
behaviour, because you might use a projection that distorts the objects
so they look similar to mirrowed? To me that seems very unlikely,
though.
