Move Tool Does Not Snap To Selection

Move Tool Does Not Snap To Selection

Sorry to ask this here, I'm a student and the site says I can't contact customer service with just a student account. I upgraded to Maya 2020, and now when I select something, say a vertex or edge, the move or scale tool doesn't snap to it. It just stays at the pivot point for the entire object, so I can't see it when I go to move a specific selection. I can of course drag the tool over, but doing this over and over again is highly inconvenient and slowing me down horribly. This wasn't an issue the the 2018 version I was running previously. 

Any ideas?

 

I'm on a Mac running Catalina, if that's relevant.

Hi @Anonymous 

we have a nice control of where the pivot should be for the selected components in Maya:

it is in the tool's option :
