Please critique this alignment. I have a thick skin so don't hold back.
If someone can point me to the help file for attachments I'd like to upload some script but can't figure it out. The attachment function never seems to get the files.
Hopefully this quick cut 'n' paste will get some feedback.
Cheers

Your alignment, as a single alignment, should be done, LEVEL, ROTATE, then ORIGINS.

You are re-setting all the axis after you set them to the point.

Level to a feature, then rotate to a feature, THEN set the origins.

Yeah, what he said. Also keep in mind that the alignment will be the last thing you do. IE, yuo cannot put the Z axis on two seperate features, the alignment will keep the last one you do.
