ALIGN Using Two Pairs of Points When you select two point pairs, you can
move, rotate, and scale the selected objects in 2D or 3D to align with other
objects.
The first set of source and destination points defines the base point for the
alignment (1, 2). The second set of points defines the angle of rotation (3, 4).
After you enter the second set of points, you are prompted to scale the object.
The distance between the first and second destination points (2, 4) is used as
the reference length to which the object is scaled. Scaling is available only
when you are aligning objects using two point pairs.
NOTE If you use two source and destination points to perform a 3D alignment
on nonperpendicular working planes, you get unpredictable results.
ALIGN Using Three Pairs of Points When you select three point pairs, you
can move and rotate the selected objects in 3D to align with other objects.
The selected objects move from the source point (1) to the destination point
(2).
The selected object is rotated (1 and 3) so that it aligns with the destination
object (2 and 4).
