If you're like me, you probably spend a lot of time fiddling with objects in your scene, trying to get them just perfect. And one of the most annoying things is when you're trying to line something up perfectly with an axis, but it just won't cooperate.
Well, good news! Blender has a handy little tool that lets you align an object to any of the axes. Just select the object (or objects) you want to align, then hit Shift+A and choose "Align to Axis."
Now, when you move the object, it will snap to the nearest point on the axis you chose. So if you want to align something to the X axis, just move it along the X axis until it snaps into place. Easy!
