Thanks, Brian! That got me back on track in terms of being able to move things in Object mode. No idea how the Axis setting under Filter got changed — or whatever happened. Still no idea why the base null for any vector files are still non-existent, but the objects appear to be responding, so I’m not sure how much of a concern it is. Thanks again.

I should add (and this is probably critical) that when I bring a vector file in, for example, the path appears with the file name that is usually associated with the null. The null object is missing in the Objects window. Only the path with the file name appears with a hierarchy line that points up to nothing.

Thank you. Yes, that does work in terms of being able to move the objects, but with Object mode on, I don’t have the “preview” arrows, rotation guides, or scaling blocks. Not sure how I “lost” those — I’m obviously doing something wrong. So, yes, I can move the objects with the Object mode selected, but I’m sort of “blind” in terms of making exact adjustments without the help of the guides.
