Why we like it

Copy-Align-Link earns a place in the ScriptSpot library for condensing copy, align and link into a single, order-driven operation across multiple targets.

What is Copy-Align-Link?

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.

Who is Copy-Align-Link best for?

Copy-Align-Link is best for 3ds Max users who need to copy, align and link one object across many destination objects at once.

How much does Copy-Align-Link cost?

Copy-Align-Link is completely free to download and use.
