Moving Items on X, Y, & Z Coordinates

Hi! 

I'm having an issue moving items without having to type (-/+) before each length. I constantly have to remember which axis i'm moving on and it's slowing down productivity A LOT. Has anyone else experienced this issue before? How do I get it back to normal where it knows which way to move the object depending on where your cursor is? 

I've run into this problem before but no longer have access to the email that a graphisoft rep helped me out. It must have been something I accidentally pressed on the keyboard but I don't what that is.

Adele,

 

Select something and go to move it, then right click on your mouse

and select prefer polar coordinates in tracker.  You have to have something 

selected and be in the process of moving it to make the change.

 

Hope that helps
