Incorrect component location on exported IDF

Ginomai

Has anyone run into this issue before?

When I export IDF in OrCad PCB Designer Professional and import it into SolidWorks 2015, a couple of the components show up in the wrong location.  The odd thing is, that when the affected components are on the top layer, they show up in the correct location.  However, when they are mirrored and placed on the bottom layer, their location is incorrect in the IDF.
