Thanks for the kind feedback, Dan.

Yes, you are right. Opening a new thread is the way it should be. Think about searching for something, and then it is somewhere buried in a long mixed thread. Thanks for considering.

About your positioning problem. Please try this:

If you need to go somewhere in the World system, set your first object there or just place a Null Object. Select what you like to have as a center. Then, use the Workplane> Align Workplane to Selection.

This is just set as long as you like it, and with the other options, you can go back any time or use another target Null. Name those wisely, and your workflow might be improved.

Now, your new object (with the default Preferences) will be set on the Workplane's "zero origin."

Is that helping?

All the best
