==Align Tool==
 
ICON: None
 
MENU: '''Tools &rarr; Basic &rarr; Align'''
 
KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: None
 
FUNCTION: Aligns one or more objects by the specified face(s) of their bounding box along the specified coordinate plane(s).
 
TO ALIGN AN OBJECT SELECTION:
 
# Select the object(s) to be aligned.
# Select '''Basic &rarr; Align''' from '''Tools''' menu.
# The Align dialog opens up. Check all the direction boxes for the alignment.
# For each of the selected alignment directions, select the positive or negative face.
# For each of the selected alignment directions, enter a value for the coordinate plane where you want to move the specified faces of the selected objects.
 
 
SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: If two principal directions are checked for alignment, the object(s) are effectively aligned by an edge. If three principal directions are checked for alignment, the object(s) are effectively aligned by a vertex or node. Note that while alignment of box or rectangle strip objects is intuitive, alignment of other objects is based on the faces of their bounding boxes and may not be as intuitive.
