Thanks - I found the grouping / merging models function - works great. Problem isn't with manipulating models once imported as a single group, the problem is when I open/ import the models to begin with. They import into Cura in an arbitrary position - even when "ensure models are kept apart" and "automatically drop models" have been disabled in preferences ? In the attached image, the left shows the correct part orien tation/ position when imported into another 3D app - the right image is the result when importing into Cura. The blue support part has lost it's correct orientation to the main part.

If you have put two objects that were made together (your example, object& support) into Cura (At least 2.4 onward) and 'select all' and then 'merge models', they should group together in their proper relative positions. Then you can position that merge on the buildplate for optimal printing.
you can find both 'select all' and 'merge models' in the edit menu. Or, try a left click to bring up the context sensitive menu.
