Component imports mirrored

I made a component in `component.dra` and imported it into `package.mcm`. For some reason, it imports mirrored. This is the information about the component:

```
LISTING: 1 element(s)

             < SYMBOL >

  RefDes:         J1
  Symbol name:    component
  origin-xy:    (-71120.00 0.00) 
  rotation:       90.000  degrees
  mirrored_geometry

  pin layer:            TOP
  size:                 30804 UM (w) x 21105 UM (l)
  thickness:            2008 UM

  Attached text:
   class      = REF DES
   subclass   = ASSEMBLY_TOP
   value      = J1

  Attached text:
   class      = REF DES
   subclass   = SILKSCREEN_TOP
   value      = J1

  Properties attached to symbol
    LOCKED
    MAX_LINE_EXIT_ANGLE  = 45

  Properties attached to symbol definition
    LIBRARY_PATH      = path/to/component.psm
    PKGDEF_STEP_TRANSFORMATION  = MICRONS, 0.000733, 0.000000, 400.220
                                  703, 90.000, -0.000, -90.000
    PKGDEF_STEP_FILE  = component.step, 0, 0, -1, 0.
                        000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0
    MAX_LINE_EXIT_ANGLE  = 45


  -------Component Instance J1-------

  Component Class:      IO
  Device Type:          DEVICE_1

  Function(s):
    Designator: TF-2
    Type:       __TMPDEV__
    Pin(s):     A01, A02, A03, A04, A05...

  Properties attached to component instance
    COMP_SUBTYPE      = DIE

  Pin IO Information:
    Pin     Type      SigNoise Model          Net
    ---     ----      --------------          ---
    A01     UNSPEC                            GND
    A02     UNSPEC                            J1_A02
    A03     UNSPEC                            GND
    A04     UNSPEC                            GND
    A05     UNSPEC                            GND
    A06     UNSPEC                            J1_A06
    A07     UNSPEC                            GND
    A08     UNSPEC                            GND
    A09     UNSPEC                            GND
    A10     UNSPEC                            J1_A10
```

I see it has a `mirrored_geometry` flag, but I don't know where it comes from and how to remove it.

    When you place a component, you have a check box in "option" view => maybe it is selected?

    I still don't know why it imported like that, but I solved it by clicking in the "Place Manual -H" button on the left (don't know under which menu it is) and then enabling "Mirror" in the options.
