It would be awesome if we had a way to snap one object to the position and/or angle of another object in the scene -- by pivot points or centers or what have you. Also being able to align an object without moving it would be very helpful.

you can already snap to object and snap to pivot using the move tool.

I'm not sure what you mean by "align an object with our moving".

Just saw this reply, sorry for the late response.

Thanks for the Snap to Pivot tip. For some reason I didn't realize that was there.  :D

By "align without moving" I mean being able to automatically rotate the object so its pivot matches that of the target. So, just like Snap to Pivot translates the object to the target's pivot point, Align to Pivot would snap its rotation so the X Y and Z axes all lined up.
