I just want to center everything, the objects, sketches onto the axis itself, I tried using move like so:

Nothing happens. Dragging over each part bit by bit doesn’t work cos I can’t figure out how to get it to snap so everything is just off, and by that point it would be faster to just redraw everything from the center.

You can make a new axis. Shapr does not use world cords per se.

Try the translate tool.
