Is there a way to reset the zero after rotating an object? I’m trying to move an object in the xyz plains, but after I rotated it the arrow in the move/rotate tool are still oriented to the original rotation.

Hi - you can always quit and enter the tool again.

You have to option to use Auto-orientation (In the Preferences panel in the top left): [https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001415134-Move-Rotate-Scale](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001415134-Move-Rotate-Scale)
