    would be good if there was a button "Center and Arrange" that would do this automatically instead of the current solution

    When the imported file is in STL format, for example, there is no option to use the Transform command in the tools... How do I move this imported file to the origin?

    The transform tool works fine.

    Main, transformed by x.y.z o a given distance.
    If you don't know the distance or can't measure the distance directly then look at suppressed items to make a sketch that can give measurements.



    version 2, transformed by points
    I did sketch a new point where I wanted to transform the stl from.


    version 1, original location

    To avoid confusion: There are two Transform tools. One is used inside a sketch to deal with sketch entities. The other is outside of a sketch for parts and surfaces. - Scotty
