I haven't been able to find any solutions as to why today the move and copy to a distance fails to work. I select copy to 60cm for example, and no line copies or appears. Same with move function. I am still able to copy or move by dragging it to no specific distance. This is happening in all of my files. Please help!

Pls try it again:
Draw one new LINE,
try to copy it the way you want to do that.
Now, try to select your Line only, use CROSS selection, not just a <pick>
Run LIST command
Press [F2] and share the result (Screenshot or copy the line from the last Command: _copy till the end)
How many objects are selected?
Sebastian
Make sure all object snaps (2d and 3d) are disabled.
not sure if i'm doing what you are asking, or what I should be looking for.
What do you mean disabled? I need my osnap function? But I turned it off and no change.

Yes I did that first thing.
EXCELLENT!
Walk us through your steps "... I select copy to 60cm for example, and no line copies or appears. Same with move function..." since there is no CM entry option in AutoCAD.
Other things to check on:
Hi,
>>"not sure if i'm doing what you are asking, or what I should be looking for."
I am also not sure, because you doesn't show the log, starting from Command: LINE till the last line.
(and I donw't know why we can see your use of Grip-Editing, what I didn't mentiond)

How it looks on my side:
Command: _move
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects:
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>:
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>: 90
Command: Specify opposite corner or [Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon]:
Command: _LIST
1 found
LINE Layer: "0"
Space: Model space
Handle = 2b5
from point, X=1862.1226 Y=1727.4545 Z= 0.0000
to point, X=2239.4730 Y=2016.5417 Z= 0.0000
Length = 475.3575, Angle in XY Plane = 37
Delta X = 377.3504, Delta Y = 289.0872, Delta Z = 0.0000
Command:
And another quick check:
draw a line and after this, draw a circle
try to copy the line one time
and run
Command: ZOOM<enter>OBJECT<enter>LAST<enter><enter>
Which object is on Screen, the Circle, or another Line?
Sebastian
select line
command copy
click
move my cursor in direction line needs to be copied
type 60 ( I only said cm to explain i was referring to a distance I work in centimeters) I guess this is "specifying second point"
enter
The line should appear at 60cm distance from original line.
This is how I always draw, I tried your suggestions and no change.
Oh, genius! well there is where all of my lines that i've been trying to copy are. And the circle. What is happening?
what if you entered for specify 2nd point: @60,0
obsolet
start a new / empty file
draw a line
select line
command copy
click
move my cursor in direction line needs to be copied
type 60
enter
enter
Start LIST command and for Object selection type in ALL<enter><enter>
[F2]
No errors, no messages
and datalist of list command showing just one line?
I can't believe it.
All Copies created, you just looked at another place, okay.
You should messure the distance between your line and the copied lines,
use command DIST
Isn't it 60units away?
Sebastian
No, it is not. Very far from where it should be copied, this is why I didn't see them. And they are copying diagonally when I have ortho mode on. It seems to be random.
Share a sample. New DWG with one new line, copy the line to any direction with 60<enter>
qsave
and share
Sebastian
Your lines aren't very long, only 19 units. So zooming out a bit will show a line copied 60 units away from any one of them

Turn dynamic mode OFF [F12]
Same issue by using ORTHO ?
turn off F10 and F11, turn on F8
Try it again.
No idea..
Crazy.
Your hardware accelerationis on? Turn it off, try it again (or the opposite)
Command: GRAPHICSCONFIG
More than one Monitor? Try the other one.
Sorry, I am out.
Sebastian
No, they are not copying at 60. I draw this way every day and today I haven't been able to.

The Problem is: The line are NOT 60units away if he copying,
they are <60units away.
