Align Tool

An Align tool for Maya.
This tool takes the MatchTransform functionality and expands it into a set of buttons that allows you to quickly align objects in whichever way you need.

• Bake Align Selection - This will align your selections to the active object over the given time range, taking into consideration the channels toggled in the settings. If Maintain Offset is enabled, it will keep the relative relationship from the current frame. If Keys Only is enabled, it will only align and bake where your target object is keyed (note: this usually results in misalignment inbetween frames, because objects can be in different spaces).
• Bake Locator to Selection - This will create a locator and align it to your selections over the given time range. Either every frame, or on the target's keytimes if Keys Only is enabled.

• Copy & Paste Xform - These will store the transform of your active object, which can be pasted later (even inbetween scenes) onto any object.
• Snap - Quickly match the transforms of your selection to the active object (translate and rotate).
• Locator - Add a locator aligned to each selected object.
• Copy & Paste Relative - These will copy the relationship between your two selected objects, which can be pasted later (even inbetween scenes) onto any two objects. You can also paste forward or backward by 1 frame and set key.
• Match Transforms - A row of buttons for matching channels on the current frame. Translate, Rotate, and individual XYZ for both.

Tested on Maya 2023, designed for 2022 and higher. If you encounter any errors or bugs please reach out to me and I'll provide a fix. If enough people want a 2016-2020 version I'm happy to create one, though xyz channel separation won't be possible.

Align Tool is free because tools should be accessible. However, if you wish to support the development of future tools and find this one useful for your workflow, please consider setting a price to cover a coffee or two :) Thanks
