how to align the height of 7 objects

Anonymous — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 03:18:17 GMT

Hi all,

I wanted to know how I can align the height of 6 objects to a base together, so at the end they are sitting at the same point, and at the same height.

I'm new to Autocad, and I'm pretty sure its easy to do this.

Thanks for your time.

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

>> I wanted to know how I can align the height of 6 objects to a base together

it depends on your objects , is it a Texts,Blocks,dimension lines,...etc it can be done for some and others not . SO the question here what kind of objects you want to align ?

Hey man, I just saw your message

Heres what I'm talking about:

I want the gold object to sit on top of the gray base, with no space in between them, and by gold object, I mean all of the gold objects

I've attached my Move_in_axis.lsp, It's a bit clunky and redundant but has served me well for a couple of decades. Drag and drop the lisp into the drawing (or autoload if you want). Let's say you wanted to align the bottom of one solid with the bottom of another. Type in the command (from below) and pick the point you want to move (bottom corner for instance) then select the point it's supposed to align with. Be sure you know where your USC will take you!

So, you have 7 solids and want them to align on the same Z-plane. Move the UCS to a point on the base solid that you want others to align with. that point should be for instance 12,4,0 (zero being important here). Now, M2Z, select object, select point. Enter, repeat.

There are commands in AutoCAD to do this that are easier if you're used to them. But I've found that "MNZ click click" is pretty easy too. At any rate, it's free, it works. Who can argue!

Have fun!

The commands are

MNX - move in X-Axis

MNY- move in y-Axis

MNZ- move in z-Axis

MNXY- move in X-Y-Axis (filters out any z component

M2Z- move to Z-axis

CNX- copy in X-Axis

CNY- copy in y-Axis

CNZ- copy in z-Axis
