More precise alignment controls

[DutchieDavid]

As a frequent user of Adobe products, I use the align window functions every time I use their software.

I would love to see these functions available in Bambu Studio. Much of my workflow involves taking multiple parts inside of Bambu Studio and merging them as a single object.

Being able to align objects in these ways would make my workflow more precise.

To describe what each function does in the screen shot:
From top left to bottom right:

Select alignment mode: Align to artboard (plate), align to selection, or align to key object.

Align left

Align center

Align right

Align top

Align middle

Align bottom

Distribute top - aligns all objects to top of an object (maybe the side closest to Y256)
Distribute middle - like above, but middle.

Distribute bottom - like above, but bottom.

Distribute left - like above, but left.

Distribute center - like above, but centered.

Distribute right - like above, but right.

Distribute spacing vertically - spaces object apart evenly, with option to set spacing. (This could be in the y axis)

Distribute spacing horizontally - like above, but horizontally. (This could be in the x axis.) (There would need to be another mode of this function for the z axis I imagine.)

Align to artboard (relative to the workspace/ plate in the context of Bambu Studio.)
Align to selection (relative to all selected objects)
Align to key object (relative to a specific selected object in a group of selected objects)

Do you mean something like this:

Align to grid/align to object

poll If you’ve ever used PowerPoint or a drawing program, you’ve probably encountered the ability to select a group of objects and align them either to the left, right, middle, top, or bottom edges. I don’t mean to imply that this software should replace CAD, but I think it could benefit from expanding the existing “center object” feature to enable alignments based on the positions of multiple objects relative to each other. Here’s the scenario: Imagine I have two objects that I want to align …

Yes, that would be a way to solve this problem. I’m partial to Adobe’s design for this, but that would also work. My one concern with the example above is that a drop-down menu would add a lot of extra clicks to the workflow, so having a window that stays open would be more efficient.
