      Good Afternoon, all..

      I would just like to thank the volunteers who develop the incredible array of plugins and tools that make my task much easier. In the last few days I've downloaded and used at least a dozen plugins/tools. I do have two problems that seem to be giving me a hassle. The first is my difficulty when trying to align two objects using the "move" tool. It seems that when I get the bottoms of two components aligned the sides are off and vice versa. So, is there a tool/plugin that allows the selection of two points and snaps them together at that point? Second, when flattening a component to a 2D level I cannot extrude it because the underlying lines etc., are still evident. I would like to be able to flatten the object with a resulting outline only, that I can extrude?
      My goal is to mirror the top half of an object, flatten it, extrude it slightly and marry the two halves.
      Thanks

              Can you posts some screens of what you are describing. I'm not quite sure I understand the scenario.

              Export a 2d DWG of the view, then import it?
