Align

Main toolbar > Align (on Align flyout)

Tools menu > Align

Keyboard > ALT+A

Aligning objects along an axis

Left: X position, center

Upper right: Y position, minimum

Lower right: Y position, maximum

Clicking Align , available from the Align flyout,, then selecting an object(s), displays the Align dialog which enables you to align the current selection to a target selection. The name of the target object appears in the title bar of the Align dialog. When performing sub-object alignment, the title bar of the Align dialog reads "Align Sub-Object Selection."

You can align the position and orientation of the bounding box of the source object to the bounding box of a target object.

You can use the Align tool with any selection that can be transformed. If an axis tripod is displayed, you can align the tripod (and the geometry it represents) to any other object in the scene. You can use this to align an object’s pivot point.

When performing sub-object alignment, the Current Object options and the Match Scale boxes are disabled. If you plan to align orientation for sub-objects, first switch to Local transform mode on the Main toolbar so that the axis tripod is properly aligned with your sub-object selection.

From this flyout, you can also choose Normal Align, Place Highlight, Align to Camera, or Align to View.
