How to center imported obj?
I have a dxf model that when I import is very large and off the grid.
I have scaled it down and freeze transforms, but I cannot figure out how to get the object to move to center of the standard grid space.
I have gone days looking online, used locator, grouped it to itself, but I am doing something wrong here, clearly.
Thanks
Dan

I center pivot, select move tool, hold x, and object moves in a grid like manner, but the actual center grid is out of sight.

works now
great, thanks for posting snapshot.
I had grid set to 'hide all grids' by mistake.
Also had to remember to select move tool before using x to snap.
Simple mistake, but ruined my day. Thanks I will be using your method from now on.
That little house icon is useful after all.
