    Edson,

    You can move to a relative or absolute point using the Move Tool with the Measurements box.

    • Select the Move Tool
    • Select the point on the object to move.
    • Type in [x, y, z] and Press Enter (absolute position)
      or
    • Type <x, y, z> and press Enter (relative move.)

    I can get this to work great. Is it possible to use this type of control to do the following:

    Say I have many objects with different x,y, and z coordinates. I want to select all the objects, and move all of them to z = 0, without changing the x and y coordinates for any of them. Is this possible using the move tool without a plugin? (I'm aware of several "drop" plugins that will essentially solve this problem).
