This command translates a specified Range of Points or Points
Group(s) based on a source point and destination point
and then rotates to align the first source point and a second source
point
with the first destination point and a second destination point. The
command basically combines the Translate and Rotate Point commands. To
specify a Range of Points to align, enter the range to align or select
a point group(s) by selecting the Point Group button. Each of the
Translation and Rotation points, both Source and Destination points,
can
be entered manually or picked from the point list by selecting the List
button.
When Align
Screen Entities
is checked, after specifying the point range or group to align and
selecting OK on the dialog box the following command line prompt is
displayed:
Select objects to rotate (points
excluded): At this
prompt select the objects on the screen, polylines, lines, arc etc., to
also align and press Enter. The alignment of the points and
screen entities will be completed.
When Ignore Zero
Elevations is checked, all
points with an elevation of 0 will be ignored in the alignment.
Undo Last Align restores
the points to their previous location before alignment. It is
important to note that if Align Screen Entities has been checked to
restore the aligned objects to their previous location will require
the
use of the undo command located in the Edit pulldown.
