You can move, rotate,
or tilt an object so that it aligns with another object.
In
the following example, two pairs of points are used to align the
piping in 2D using the ALIGN command. Endpoint
object snaps align the pipes precisely.
In
3D, use the 3DALIGN command to specify
up to three points to define the source plane followed by up to
three points to define the destination plane.
The first source point on an object,
called the base point, is always moved to
the first destination point.
Specifying a second point for either
the source or the destination results in the selected objects being
rotated.
A third point for either the source or
the destination results in further rotation of the selected objects.
TipWith
3D solid models, it is recommended that you turn on dynamic UCS
to speed the selection of the destination plane.
