Nevermind. Fixed it.
View/Visual Styles/
was set to /3D Wireframe instead of /2D Wireframe
Still have no idea how that happened. Is there a keyboard shortcut for it that can be accidentally triggered?
Thanks for reading.

Hi.
I feel silly, don't know how this happened. Possibly somehow I held shift and moved cursor slightly right before saving the drawing - but I certainly don't remember it looking like this the last time I opened it.
It was a regular 2d plan of some room. Default Acad black background, XY coordinate system. When I opened it today I saw the three-dimensional XYZ cone-arrow triad in the bottom left corner, gray background (like in 3D views) and a much slower operation.
Is there a way to turn the drawing into its 2d view?

type:
-VIEW <Enter>
Enter an option [?/Delete/Orthographic/Restore/Save/sEttings/Window]: T <Enter>
***EDIT***
Oh was it just a Visual Style? Sorry... I thought you accidentally knocked the view off. Glad you got it fixed either way.![]()

Glad to hear you sorted out the problem.
For the future: if the UCS icon shows its 3D face probable the view direction is not perpendicular to your XOY plane. Use the PLAN command first -this will fix the *problem*. If the UCS still doesn't return to the 2D look, try the SHADEMODE to fix the *symptom*
It's nice to be nice, but sometimes is nicer to be evil!.
