Examples

The following example specifies two pairs of source and destination points, which perform a 2D move and does not scale the objects based on alignment points:

(setq ss (ssget))
(setq s1 (getpoint "\nSource1: "))
(setq d1 (getpoint s1 "\nDestination1: "))
(setq s2 (getpoint "\nSource2: "))
(setq d2 (getpoint s2 "\nDestination2: "))
(align ss s1 d1 s2 d2 "" "n")
T
