How to align multiple objects according to their axes?
-
I have 3 cylinders , a cube and a 2 spheres which i want to perfectly align along the blue axis. I know the best way to do it is put the axis of each in the center then align them. Is there a plug in that does that in one click. I just cant snap to the axes to align manually.

You can create a construction line to get an inference on the blue axis...

You don't need a plugin to place the axes at the center of components. Use Change axes from the Context menu. If you are going to use these shapes in future models, it makes sense to put the origin in a logical place to make insertion easy.
Sam's plugin is handy but you really ought to know how to set up components so they'll be easy to align in models.
