Not asking anything to be changed, however it took me some time to determine that what you call the "X axis" and "Y axis" can be any particular orientation. I was always trying to determine what the "X and Y axis" were while using the plugin. Lead to much frustration.
I always wanted to be able to get inside the plugin and change the "X" to "1" and the "Y" to "2". To me that would have been more logical to remember, I wanted the "1's" and "2's" to align with each other.
Thank you for your contribution.

Hi Ken,
You can also think that X represent the red axis, Y the green axis, just as when you locate/translate/rotate the SU axis system. -
Ken,
I really like your idea too because I'm not use to the "x,y,z" language yet. Just now getting orientated in the 3d space
Thank You for the plugin Mr. Didier Bur.

Thank you very mach!
-
it's an impressive plugin, almost equal to the Autocad's align tool. Autocad can scale the objet as it aligns, is it possible to do that with this plugin?
Thanks for your work, all of you are making sketchup a very advanced tool. -
Thank you so much for this tool. You have saved me so much time.

@seebe: you're welcome

D'oh moment for me!
I spent so long trying to align things using the rotate/protractor tools - when all I needed to do was type "Align" into the search box and intall this super plugin!Many thanks Didier, you have made my Sketchuping so much easier!

Hi,
Here is an updated version of my align tool with a bug fix (components were deformed when non orthogonal axis were clicked). User guide also added.
Regards,thank for sharing
-
Didier, could you please add 'multiple copy' and 'preserve original instance' options (may be with say CNTRL key pressed once)?
P.S. I hope I post in the right topic: is it Tools\Align command?
(Align, align tool, align 2D, align 3D.. I'm confused a bit). -
Anyone experienced groups/components axes that cannot be hidden or erased?
I've this plugin for quite long. But lately just realise that axes cannot be hidden or removed from the groups/components on the screen.
How should i clear those axes after aligning groups/components?
Thank you.

You can change the visibility of the component axes here:

I forgot to check that
Checked Window - Preference only several times.
Seems that I forgot how to read and use SketchUp.Thanks a lot, Cotty.

I recently down loaded and installed the plug-in in the zip file. I have been experimenting with the plug-in to learn how it works. When I try to use the tool, my SketchUp crashes every time. Let me explain as best as I can what happens.
I create two objects (usually two cubes or rectangles; I’m just experimenting). I pick a corner of one object and create an X and Y axis (should there be a Z axis showing at this point?). When I try to connect the origin point of the first object to the corner of the second object, I get a crash.
I have viewed the training video numerous times so I believe I am using the plug-in correctly. I’m seeking some help in understanding what I am doing wrong.
Thanks -
Could you add an option to copy (Ctrl) for plugin ALIGN 3D? Now objects are moved.

Align tool 3D doesn't want to work with SU 2014. Is this a ruby version thing? I miss being able to use it.
-
Can anyone confirm that this is not working in Su14 on a mac mavericks?
I installed the plugin both through the sketchucation plugin store and also through Didier's thread here.
Neither plugin appears in TOOLS and there is no align choice in the context menu when something is selected.
It's like the plugin doesn't exist, though it shows up in the plugin manager, and is in the user/library.../plugins location.
Thoughts?
