i can only draw in top view

My problem is that, i can only draw in the top view, but when i change the view, in the viewcube to front, left, and draw a circle or a polygon, only appears a thin line.
Before when i changue the view to another face, i can draw circles or any form.
I think is something related to the UCS., and the Z axis

Are you familiar with using the UCS?

Are you familiar with Dynamic UCS (DUCS)?

What book are you using to learn AutoCAD?

Yes, you are right.

You need to align current UCS to the view.

When you use ViewCube to create front, left or other views it doesn't set UCS to match the view.

You have to manually cerate new UCS after you change view with ViewCube (for example with UCS -> View option),

or set view from Ribbon:

this will create UCS automatically.

Yes , but before whne i change the view, in the viewcube, all was fine, the UCs, aligns automatically and let me work in this view.
But now , i don't know what happen but i have to manually set the ucs to the view.
If i change the view from here, it works fine, but i still have the doubt about what happen to the viewcube views

There is an option tha has moved, allowing change view with the viewube, as used before?

To the best of my knowledge, the viewcube only changes the view.  Perhaps using the Viewport controls in the upper left, instead of the viewcube in the upper right may be a suitable alternative?

Yes, is a good alternative. Thansk
I think I'll stay with the doubt that is what change to the viewcube views.
