As an alternative to using the stretch tool to align points you could use point info ('i' when in point mode), as this will tell you the coordinates of the point you want to align to an allow you to set that value for all the other points
Personally I wrote a plugin to align all selected points to the last selected. I've never bothered to release it, but I've stuck it up here in case you are interested. It works for me using LW 9.3, but I've not stress tested it at all (that's why I've not released it)
Once again, top work :thumb:

don't worry newtek don't stress test any of theirs either
I'm running on the mac ub version so I can't use the .p plugins ?
If so is there anyone out there who can compile for the mac?

I don't know anything about compiling for the mac... not sure if anyone on the NT forums could help out. I wish there was a very easy way to just convert all the plugins. If you posted in the Mac area of the NT forums, maybe Chilton (who heads up the mac programing) would have some suggestions for you.
I'll try to remember to take a look in the New Year.

I'll keep my eye out for it!

I'm going to try to work on a perfume bottle tutorial next. But to be honest, most of the techniques are just a take on the ones I covered already.
