Hi all,

When I want to move a previously created shape or object (Front view and working planes) only on the Z axis I must use the Local Y field instead of the Local Z axis field as if they were changed round in the Move tool dialog box.

Side view and working planes are affected too, where Y and Z axis are also changed round.

Is there any explanation for this behaviour?

Regards
