User Origin - All messed up

[Jim Smith]

A college sent me a file to see if I could figure out what is going on. Here is the issue:

- This person works in 2D exclusively 

- Somehow the User Origin has been set to a place several Angstrom Units South East of the Centre of the Drawing

- The issue seems to involve a number of curves associated with some cornice molding profiles- when I change the fill & colour one of the arcs has a centre point at this odd location 

- Using the original profile to to Clip a shape results in the same issue

- Brining the shape into a new file, eliminates this issue however; bringing back from the new file reestablishes the problem

- Exporting to a DWG & Reimporting doesn't help 

 

Other than some JPGS & PDF there is nothing that has been imported. My friend is in a bit of a panic, if anyone has some advise I know he'll be grateful

So the Internal Origin seems to be set in an odd place, and I'm not sure why that is. This is an issue that can be managed. But what would be going on that the profiles have this odd behaviour is perplexing. Could this be at all due to the File starting life as a VW 2014 or 2015 file?

Just heard from my pal, & it seems that some of these profiles are imported DWG files. So I'm guessing that this is a function of where and how they were both created and imported...
