Hi @Mia,

You can always adjust the rotation and size of an object under its properties, instead of using the coordinate arrow.

Is the coordinate arrow working for other objects, or is it not working at all?

it is not working at all. Actually, the one that is working is a free version on my own computer, and what I can't use coordinate arrows is the official version purchased by the company I worked at.

Release note 23.0

Added keyboard shortcut "G" to toggle showing the manipulation orb in the 3D view.

@Mia, you are certain, that you aren’t using version 23. If you have still problems at work, it could be related to graphic problems, like old drivers or weak graphical power.

In version 22 and later:

Left-clicking and dragging the arrow head (arrow axis handle) translates the object along that axis.
Right-clicking and dragging the arrow head rotates the object around that axis.

The correct page describing these actions is here - your link was to version 2020 which did not have this method for resizing.

In your second video where you say things are not working it sounds like you are not clicking and dragging but are just clicking and releasing the handles which will do nothing.
