      I have one model with a perplexing behavior: it won't move anything along the red axis. I can move items properly on the blue or green axis but when I want to move something on the red axis they move at an odd angle... sort of like the red axis is tilted up and rotated right about 60 degrees. When I look a the model, or at components I'm trying to move, the axis looks perfectly normal. Using the arrow keys to lock in an axis does not resolve the problem.

      I'm at a loss to fix this. No doubt it's something simple and I'm just overlooking the obvious... but I'm at a loss.

      Any suggestions?

          If the following does not help, please post an example file.

          Components can be glued to a certain face (this is standard for some components, ie those with "cut opening"). You can try to right click on the component/group and select unglue if it's available.

            A bit more information: The specific problem I mentioned occurs when trying to move a particular group around, not a component. When I make a copy of that group, the copy does notmove correctly. But when I edit or explode the group I am able to move the contained components normally. New groups are ok.

            Which makes me think there is some attribute of this particular group that causes this. Any ideas of what that might be?

              the only time I have that "problem" is when importing an image - then the image will not move perpendicular to its face

                Did you check the glueing like was mentioned? Please verify.

                Also, is there any chance that the group was created by a ruby plugin? There could be a known bug there if it was.
