I have designed an object (a shape) using the axis as its center point. I am now designing another component around that object, but keep accidentally nudging the original body so that it gets shifted off the axis point center without realizing I have done this.

Is there a way to lock a body so that it does not move? (I found in the forums a recommendation to hide the body so it can’t accidentally be selected, but then I cannot use its geometry for reference.)

Help?
