Center line Align of objects?

CalypsoArt

I was just asked by someone how to align multiple objects along their centers. I believe he meant selecting multiple objects and they align there center points. Methods? Plugins?

Align and Distribute, on my blog, may work for you.

It downloads as a ZIP file rather than an RBZ.

1a) You can install it using the SketchUcation Toolset's submenu item 'Install Archive...'
This works on RBZ and ZIP.

However, an RBZ file is just a renamed ZIP file, so change its file-type from .zip to .rbz, then use Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension... button to install that.
Alternatively, alternatively [!]... the risky version... unzip the ZIP file into a temporary subfolder.
Then move the .rb and the included support folder with its files [all intact in the folder], into your Plugins folder...
