I can see no connection between turning a layer on/off and freeing up the ability to work in a particular direction in any of the four viewports.  None.

Maybe I am not understanding the true nature of the problem.  Unless I was sitting by your side or watching a video of you working I can only guess at what you are experiencing.

You do realize you can only draw in the X/Y plane right?  That's why it is necessary to rotate the UCS.

Thanks again.  Yes, I think I understand that when you are working in a particular viewpoint, you are drawing in the X-Y plane.  The problem is only one direction is available,  Sometimes X and sometimes Y, or everything is normal and you can draw in both X and Y.  I don't understand why turning a layer (any layer) on and off to corrects the problem.  But let me assure you if I am working in the side view and activate the top view, I may or may not be able to draw in both the X and Y directions.  Turning any layer on and off corrects the problem and I can now activate the top view and draw in both directions.

John, thank you for your many kind responses.  But, apparently I have an unsolveable situation.  And, I thought it was going to be an easy fix.

Post one of these mystery drawings.  I'd like to take a look at it.

If indeed it is a software glitch then you might have to resort to running the REPAIR option and see if that fixes things.
