I've certainly noticed this behaviour so I added lines in my acaddoc.lsp to turn off the viewcube

The GEOGRAPHICLOCATION tool is supposed to affect the transfer of data to and from Google Earth. If I read the help file correctly it's not supposed to have any affect on Civil3D points going to or from survey. Are you sure that this bug was the cause of your problem?

Type GEOGRAPHICLOCATION and set it off in the ensuing dialog. This will get the viewcube to display correctly. Setting the geographic location correctly doesn't work because somewhere later the system changes it to rubbish and the viewcube goes funny again.
Best to do this in all your templates as well.
I thought I has SP1 installed, but I just got this 'view from bottom' problem. First 5 mins of working in 2013. How do I figure out if the SP is installed? I type ABOUT but I don't see any info on the SP.
So what I'd like to know is: is this going to actually affect anything? If I d-ref something out of this drawing, is it going to be junk? Or is it just a viewcube glitch that I don't care about because I'm going to turn of the viewcube anyway?
Thanks!

Thanks Jeff. I just crashed and did the CER and was told that I didn't have the SP, so that's confirmation. (Actually, I didn't really crash. I closed the program down myself, and then the Error Reporting window was there. Seems to happen now & then.)
So the SP will be the first priority.
Any idea about the other question: does this glitch actually harm anything, or just make the viewcube look weird?
