| 108 forum posts 18 photos | Hi John Suspect that you've locked one or more of the axes. i have TC 20, and if you go to the bottom RH corner of the screen there are 3 boxes which show the X, Y and Z positions for the cursor. Beside each one is a tick box which locks the position of the cursor for that axis - make sure that you haven't accidentally ticked one of them. Other things to try -. 1 Look under 'modes / snaps' on the drop-down menus and make sure that you haven't selected 'ortho', as that will allow the cursor to move at right angles only. 2 With the line tool selected, right click and select 'local snap' - you may have selected ortho here - deselect it and all should be ok. Please let us know what you find - good luck Roger

| 49 forum posts | Thank you Roger! It was the ortho snap but I did not understand the effect that it would have.
Many thanks, John |
