Please give me a solution

Welcome to AUGI & congrats on your 1st post. This has already been asked, see this thread: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=58912&highlight=non+uniform+data

Basically what happens is your block is defined to enforce uniform scaling (i.e. X, Y & Z scale factors must be the same). While this works fine for block inserts, a mirror of this block ignores this setting. A mirrored block actually has a negative X or Y scale factor. Thus it's not uniformly scaled at all :shock:

2 Solutions I can think of:

Redefine the block to allow non-uniform scales. BEDIT it & change the setting in Properties Pallet (without anything selected). Then BCLOSE.
Select all the blocks (using filter, qselect and / or layiso). Open prop palette & change the XYZ scales to be the same. Then run ATTSYNC to fixup the attributes now shown the wrong way round.

Or if the block has to be mirrored then follow my suggestion in the thread mentioned above.
