Weird behavior using polyline

[FelipeMolon]

Hi!

For the past few days I have been experiencing some strange behavior when using polyline. Drawing using the top view works as expected, but when I try to draw a polyline in any other view, it acts as if it is stuck in another. For example, trying to draw in the front view works as if it were in the top view, and using the left view works as if it were in the front.

This problem does not happen when using lines, circles, splines, etc...

Does anyone know why this is happening? Can someone help me please?

Edit: After recording the first video, I realized that it (kinda) draws the geometry correctly, but displays it incorrectly while the command is active.
So I recorded a second video showing this strange behavior.

In the core AutoCAD commands, PLINE command is 2D and sticks to where UCS/PLAN commands are set.

3DPOLY command is the tool to use if you truly need a 3D polyline.

In this case I am not trying to create a 3D polyline, but rather a 2D one in the plane I choose. The problem is that the UCS is not sticking to the view I chose.

I made another video showing the situation. As you can see, when I choose the top view, it works as expected, but when I switch to the front view, it kinda glitches, showing the lines as if they were on the top plane. When I confirm the command, they appear in the correct place.

In the video you can see the ucs icon, showing that I"m indeed in the correct view.

Hello everybody!
Posting here just to inform you of the solution to my problem, in case something similar happens to anyone else.
I contacted support, and the representative said it was the first time he had seen this type of error.
The solution he gave me and which fortunately worked was to reset the AutoCAD settings to default and configure it according to my preferences again.
It took a considerable amount of time, but at least it worked.
