      Quick Align preselected object to a target one (origin to origin*).
      Could someboby make it please?
      Most simple silentone, no confirmations and extra optoins.

      • if 2 'pivotless' groups are involved, then bottom center would be a rule.
        ** optional (with say Cnrl key) rotation matching would be nice.

        How do you identify the 'target' in pre-selected objects?

        What does 'pivotless' mean?

        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

          Sdmitch thank you for paying attention,
          The most basic tool is requested:

          1.select object(s)
          2. hit shortcut
          3. mouse click* 2nd (target) object
          4. Result: pre-selected object(s) get transferred to the 'target' object location.
          Asceticism is welcomed: no need for confirmations\reports.
          *Control click target would align respecting target's rotation.

          I mean the Group in SU is just some kind of restricted component that doesn't have option to set up its axes (=pivot-less)
          But in fact program invisibly inserts pivot at bottom lower left corner WHICH IS A BAD CHOICE. So in case of GROUPS, I'd like this script to use the BOTTOM-CENTERS instead.
