One Simple Way To Align Components (Video)
-
I did not find this as a easy video so.
Align components using the move tool & origo: -
Wow, you can align to absolute coordinates? I did not know that, thanks ballbearing
-
An even easier and faster method for aligning components is to place the component's origin at the appropriate location so you can simply bring the component in from the Components window and drop it at an intersection of edges or guidelines. If needed, you can also apply gluing attributes to the component.

@oceanembers, you can also use relative coordinates.

I would argue that having a well placed component origin is critical for swapping components later as well. And Dave R what was that slick little tool you used to create the countersink for the bolts?

Indeed! You are correct about well-placed component origins. The blog post I did after the one I linked to demonstrates that.
The tool I used to create the counterbored holes is the Drill tool from the Wudworx tool set.
