Hi there,
So, I am drawing a polygon now and want to make 3D model
A drew it in 2D view
extruded in 3D
did a GIZMO 90 degree turn along Y axis
and when I want to draw a center line thru this hex head I cannot make it along X axis
(I need this centerline for auxiliary purposes)
What am I doing wrong?
I noticed when I manage to find a center on the side of the model and click there to start a polyline the directions of the three axis (X Y Z) are changing
I attached dwg and screenshots

It is likely Dynamic UCS is enabled, so AutoCAD is temporarily aligning the UCS to the bolt head. If you enable Polar Tracking, you can just draw your centerline in the Z-direction and forgo rotating the object or the UCS at all, or you can disable DUCS via Command line (UCSDETECT=0) or by clicking the icon on the status bar, or with the F6 key.
The icon looks like the UCS Icon with a lightning bolt. If it's not there, perhaps you've already turned off it's display.
