I'm having an issue when trying to copy objects in ArchiCAD. Whenever I use the copy or move command, the movement seems to be constrained to only the Y-axis, and I can't copy objects freely in any direction.
What I've tried:
Checking if any special constraints are enabled
Restarting ArchiCAD
Trying different tools and elements
The problem persists regardless of which element I'm trying to copy. I suspect there might be some coordinate constraint setting that's been accidentally activated, but I can't find where to disable it.
See the picture attached
I see that the absolute X coordinate is active but i did not active before I start to copy anything.
I image it´s some kind of feature that I activated by mistake.
Thanks in advance.

If you are referring to moving/copying doors and windows, then they are constrained to the wall they belong to.
They can only move along the length of that wall.
Any other element should move/copy in any direction.
