The AutoCAD Align command is a tool that allows you to move, rotate, and scale objects in a drawing to align with other objects. It helps you position objects accurately in relation to existing geometry by specifying source points on the object to be aligned and corresponding destination points on the target object or geometry.
Key Functions of the Align Command:
Move: The selected object will move based on the points you specify (source points to destination points).
Rotate: The object can rotate to match the orientation of the target object.
Scale (optional): If you choose to provide three pairs of source and destination points, the object can also be scaled to fit the target geometry.
How to Use the Align Command:
Select the object you want to align.
Specify source points on the object.
Specify destination points on the target geometry.
Press Enter to move, rotate, and (optionally) scale the object to match the destination points.
This command is particularly useful when you want to ensure precise alignment between objects in your drawing, such as when positioning components, aligning text, or fitting parts within an assembly.
