    Stuck aligning boxes

    Hello!

     

    I'm new to AutoCAD, and I've been trying to get a bunch of different-sized boxes to get in a neat line behind each other, like they've been strung together or at least put on the same level. Align doesn't seem to be doing anything besides moving them. How am I supposed to do this?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Help? I get the feeling this should be easy but nothing's working...

    It would help if you post a snapshot of what you have or attach your drawing.

    Are they skewed?

    More or less, and not on the same level. This shows up more when I rotate the view angle.

     

    So far using Align just shifts them in the direction I indicated?

    Move and snap to Endpoint, will that work?

    How? I'm trying to do so now, and for some reason half the boxes are choosing to move into a new direction while the other half remains in place. They didn't do that before...

    How am I supposed to do that? I don't even have a snap endpoint command.

     

    Sorry I'm being so thick...

    Like I said, all that's happening now is that they're lining up in two separate lines perpendicular to each other, and for some reason I can't undo that action.

    They don't move to the correct direction because they were drawn in diferrent UCS.

    Attach your .dwg here let's see.
