- [Instructor] Sometimes you have a lot of geometry
on your screen, and you want to select it all
and align it inside of a sketch to another sketch
or another entity that already exists.
In this example, I've got a sketch on my front plane
and one on my top plane, and I want to shift it
so that the center point of this circle lines up
with the center point
of this center point rectangle right here.
So what I'm going to do is go to Tools,
Sketch Tools, Align, and Align Sketch.
And you can see here it kind of shows you
that it's going to align point to point.
Holding down Control, I'm going to select this point
and then the point on the sketch.
Hit Return once to accept that feature,
and hit it one more time to initiate it.
And you can see it shifted the entire sketch
down to that point.
This is similar to using the Move Entities feature,
but we don't have to do is go through the process
of selecting everything,
which, if you have a very complex sketch
with a lot of geometry,
can be very difficult or time-consuming.
This gives you the option
to simply align the entire sketch in one move.
But you'll notice it didn't add any other constraints
or anything like that.
It just shifted everything down.
