Copy-Align-Link is a script for 3ds Max that handles a repetitive task in one pass: it copies a source object onto multiple destination objects, aligning and linking each copy. The workflow follows a fixed order — select the source object, then select the destination objects, and press the copy-align-link button to apply the operation.
The script includes an option to make parent objects unrenderable, controlled by an "Unrenderable Targets" checkbox. Rotation offset values can be supplied when they are needed, giving control over how each copy is oriented relative to its target.
Compatible with 3ds Max 2008 and above, Copy-Align-Link is developed by masquerade and listed on ScriptSpot. It is offered at version 1.0. The developer's own page is available for further details and for the latest information on the script.
