Do any of you guys have any tips/tricks for zeroing large groups of irregular points,other then copy and paste coordinates?.Reason I ask is because any number of times I find myself copying and pasting coordinates to single points after modelling.And recently I finished aligning points on a model to find the axis tool was 2 degrees out on the B axis.....

Is it possible to use functions transfer on say a point selection tag,to another tag to align the second points to the first?..........man there has to be an easier quicker way of doing this that I am not seeing.

select the points then Structure->Edit Surface->Set Value

Should do what you're after

Or download Samir's MESS plugin, which let's you align a selection of points to the first or last point selected.

Just for the sake of completeness:

The 'Set Value' command is also in the context menu (when right-clicking in the editor window). Faster to access than the menu item.
