Lost ability to pivot

I am editing a somewhat complicated assembly, and this morning, I abruptly lost the ability to change the pivot point when transforming parts. If I open the transform dialog, the pivot point defaults to the canvas origin. I can freely move and rotate about this point. If I click the control to change origin, I appear to be able to pick a different origin, but everything is locked in place. Nothing moves when I try to rotate or translate after selecting the new origin.

I tried to revert to an older version, but I find even older versions of the document show the same behavior--despite the fact that I was able to manipulate them fine earlier this morning!!

I tried restarting Fusion and even rebooting the workstation, all to no avail.

 

I have ungrounded all components, removed all joints, rigid groups, tangency constraints, contact sets, motion links and motion studies. I'm out of ideas. Pleases help.

After placing the pivot point, you must click the green tick box, to cancel any further pivot moves, and

commence object movement.

 

Might help....

Thank you. Now I don't understand why I was able to do that this morning but not two hours later.
