Just to preface this message, I am a self trained novice user of Maya so I apologize if I am not articulating my question properly.

With that said my question deals with placing a CV curve in Maya. When I place a curve in the profile views the control verts seem to lock along that axis permanently. So if I place a line in the front view I can't tweak in the side view. If I place the curve in the perspective view the verts are fine but it's not my preferred work flow. It's odd and it's bugging me that I can't figure it out.

Does anyone have any ideas what this might be?

Thanks
Itzat.
