How to align objects to one edge

Ben Cohen

Hello again

can someone tell me the easiest way to align these three objects. I am after an easier way then grabbing each one. Something akin to align left/right/top/bot as in other software. Maybe one for the wish list but I wanted to check that I am not missing something

thanks

Ben

There is no align command to do as you describe. Piece by piece is the only way for now. Definitely a wish list item.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I THINK that the orbit solutions is only applicable to text. But I could be wrong.

Hope I am
Cheers.

The new Orbit align seems to work with whatever you choose. I do believe that in the past, that text was all it would align. Not the case now. Try it, you'll like it.
