Describe the solution you'd like I think there should be a few alignment tools for different objects. Currently as it sits, it's mostly just measuring distances and adjusting till it's lined up properly.
Describe how it would work The way I imagine it would be how assembly mates work in most 3d Cad programs. These let you align via faces, offsets/distances, concentric, or coinciding edges/faces. The measuring tool already is great at detecting flat surfaces and circles as holes, so it'd be one step further on to that I'd think. Maybe even giving each object a centered 3 planes to give further alignment options.
This would make customizing things with different objects easier. I can see this being extended to text and SVGs as well.
Had this idea when I was creating a customizable slider puzzle with a negative volume object added.
Sorry if this has been suggested before.
