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.
