You can disable a gizmo with Ctrl+Q and then use mouse to move objects. With left mouse click by X and Y and scroll wheel by Z. There is no precision movement tool in iClone. For a final tweak I am changing XYZ values directly in transform section. And hoping RL would finally bring an Orthographic camera view option.

You can also quickly change the pivot point of the object and have a gizmo where you want it.
There are also snapping options in preferences, but I have never used it.
I would also recommend enabling "Zoom to Mouse position" in preferences - This is new for IC7 (I wish they have a dynamic "Lock to cursor" instead of rotating around selected object pivot)

That helps for part of the issue.  I am trying to perfectly stack one object on top of the other.  This has become a nightmare because it seems everything pivots in relation to something else.  I am not going to animate these objects.  They are more like a non-moving sign stacked on top of another.  I would like to be able to drag or to move them freely without the pivoting going on.

So is it just one object you are trying to move in the scene but due to scaling you’re very far away from the object and can’t see the gizmo? Just select the object in the scene selection tab, then use the icon to bring up the gizmo. Press the X key and that will allow you to rotate around and zoom into that object. Zoom into it until the gizmo is more easily visible and able to be manipulated. That should do the trick provided I understand your issue correctly.

This is my first time using a large scene.  I did some scaling in the beginning and my Gizmo has disappeared.  Can I fix this?  It kept getting further and further away from the object when scaling.  Now its totally gone.  Thanks for the help in advance.  I just really want to move it where it is currently and not have to deal with it moving around the center or anything else.
