The new Align/Distribute window can be found in the Modify menu. It works with shape, face, edge, or vertex selections, with buttons to align or evenly distribute selections along a given axis. Also included is an option to align using the first or last selected object, or the average of all selected objects.
We’ve also added support for viewport navigation using 3Dconnexion’s SpaceMouse hardware (in perspective viewports only for now). SpaceMouse lets you intuitively navigate 3D spaces with 6 degrees of freedom, zooming, panning, and rotating simultaneously with one hand while your other hand can stay on your mouse or keyboard.
