I'm betting two things will happen from this experience. From now on, that designer will make **** sure he knows which is northing and which is easting. And that party chief will never again leave the office without loading his points.
As for "True" and "False" settings, Autodesk is too busy creating new bugs to correct its stupid syntax.

From what I've read, outside of North America easting then northing is the default standard for coordinate files. Most of the Lidar data files we receive are ENZ space delimited and I'm sure that there are other sources of data that use the same convention.

Neilyj,
"Yes - Eastings are ALWAYS quoted before Northings; end of debate....!!!! "
You've got a point. Every math class I ever took used (X,Y) to list coordinates, so I was always baffled by the use of (N,E). However, y'all are still driving on the wrong side of the road.
