Hi,

I know one can select a point, say from a corner of a cube, and then snap it to the corner of another cube. However, when this is done, the polygons on the first cube are stretched and are no longer a cube. Is it possible to snap to a point while moving the entire object. I guess the best comparison would be the way it is done in Adobe Illustrator: the user selects a 2D square, then clicks on a specific point and moves the entire square until it snaps to its destination point. Does LW have anything like this?

In addition, does LW have temporarily rulers that can be dragged on the x & y axis? Sort of like Photoshop?

Thanks for you input.
