Type Ucs command then select World option .
Type Plan command then twice enter.

@paohui1999 ,

Check your TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY is set to "1" (on).

Otherwise check this link:

Greetings @paohui1999

You may be having that issue because of these UCS rotations

Was your PLAN command set to CURRENT UCS before you attached the OLE? Might be worth testing that, remove the OLE, make the changes, reattach.

seems a bug to me... it only shows the image in the EXACT same view or ucs in which it was initially pasted. Now comes to funny part...

- draw a line, creat a ucs that has origin and direction from that line. Plan

- save that view, make sure to save the ucs with the view, that's an option

- past something

- restore wcs, plan

- now make that ucs again, using the line you used earlier

- plan

------------------> empty frame

now restore the saved view -----> OLE shows

few days ago I heard a great joke: report it and autodesk will look at it
