XYZ direction pointers

XYZ direction pointers

XYZ direction pointers

(OP)
When you click on rotate for example, you see a yellow ball with XYZ pointing arrows appearing.  When I click move (moving a part around an axis) and select a part, I get a blue ball with directional pointers on an edge of the part.  Why is this?  Now when I select a part, everything moves, not just the one part I selected, which should be the only part moving!  Any ideas?      

RE: XYZ direction pointers

(OP)
In assembly, when rotating, a set of XYZ coordinates appears.  Why when using the move command, does a second set of XYZ coorinates appear?  This second set of coordinates nullifies and movement when rotating a part about an axis.  Is there a way of preventing this second set of coordinates?
