2D Align

Function

This command will align (translate, rotate and scale) the selected objects using two pairs of source and destination control points. The difference between the first source point and first destination point determines the translation amount. The difference between the angle and distance from the first and second source points compared to the angle and distance from the first and second destination points determines the rotation and scale. The scale part of the alignment is optional. This 2D Align function is the same as the AutoCAD Align function except that this 2D Align function does not use elevations so that the alignment is always in 2D. The control points can be screen picked or entered by point numbers.
