No Triad Manipulator

So, I am new to onshape and so far, it seems pretty easy, in most cases. However, when I click on a part to move it, the triad manipulator never appears. I can't find anything on how to turn it on or off. Pretty important thing I would assume would be easy to use. Can anyone help, please? On using chrome on a Mac. Thanks!

    Moving a part or a sketch is very frustrating, as there is no arrow to move it around.  Why can't this feature be implemented so we can easily drag the parts around the screen?  Please do keep in mind that I'm a TOTAL NOOB!

    @tony_abedini parts and sketches should not move around on screen, they should be fixed to something relevant, like the origin. Use assemblies to position parts relative to each other.
