Align Feature

For more, see Draw Tools, Vertices

To activate: (in Edit Layer mode) Toolbar

Move and rotate features with the Align tool. Use the tool to match common boundaries of different features.

To use:

1. Select feature(s) to align.

2. Activate Align tool.

3. Select the first vertex of object to be moved. This is the hinge point which will match up exactly with third point selected.

4. Select a second vertex of object to be moved. The first two points have established the first line.

5. Select a third point (a vertex or otherwise) where the first selected vertex is to be hinged.   

6. Select a fourth point to define the second line to which the first line (defined by first two selected points) is to match.

Note: Neither line is resized to match the other line's length. The Align tool uses the first and third points to define a hinge.
