I can only draw line on X in Ortho mode

I am having a problem this morning. When I started AutoCad LT 2012 and opened my drawing, I can only draw a line in one direction. Also, when i insert a block, all I get is a flat line. Any thoughts?

My guess is you are not in plan view and/or your UCS is not set to World....

If by some odd chance my nattering was useful -- that's great, glad to help. But if it actually solved your issue, then please mark my solution as accepted 🙂

Same thing just happened to me, but how does the UCS get out of World mode to begin with?

Could be a keyboard keying performed without noticing or you clicked on an object already at a Z setting other than zero: LT is not a 2D program, it's 3D like full AutoCAD, it's just hobbled with predominantly 2D core commands.
