Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Solids Changes Orientation

 I'm trying to copy a solid off of one drawing to another drawing (there is one part that goes onto several different assemblies and I don't want to draw it 10 times) I select the solid, ctrl+c then ctrl+v in the other drawing tab I want the solid in. But when I paste it in the new drawing I notice it is very slightly rotated in the Z axis a fraction of a degree from 0 and it's almost more time consuming to measure what the angle is and correct it than it is to redraw the part. Does anyone else have this problem? Any fix? Did I screw up some settings somewhere? Thanks.

that's because your coordinate system is different between files. try to use USC and set both of them to WORLD and try again

I'm not using UCS on either drawing, both are using WCS. I looked a little closer and found out that the solid in the drawing I was copying to was skewed, not the solid I was copying. It was a different problem than what I thought. But now I'm not sure why the solid was skewed. It's basically an auger shaft with flights that I made with the sweep tool. The shaft and the flights are skewed ~.5 degrees from "flat" but nothing else on the drawing is. There's 8 different augers I've drawn like this and they all were skewed ~.5 degrees in the same way. I fixed them with 3d align, but its very strange.
