      Hi everybody:

                    I am in the process of creating a wooden chair. I have the backrest. Just created the arm-rest.   But, I can't move it, because it's stuck in the Blue Axis. I'm not sure HOW to unlock it.
      

      THanks,
      garystan

          Probably because the component you have created was initially locked an axis.
          Select the definition in the Component-Browser and Edit it to remove its 'axial-locking' [aka 'Glue-to'].
          You could also select an instance and edit its 'axial-locking' [aka 'Glue-to'] in its right-click > context-menu...
