How to align multiple vertices in Maya?



This is a question that a lot of people may ask when modeling in Maya.
Actually is a very simple process (shouldn't be different!).

Usually I need to align vertices in Maya when I'm modeling objects that will be mirrored and welded. To do this, first I be sure that in Move tool settings under Move Snap Settings I switched off the Retain component spacing option. Afterwards, to align the center vertices to the grid lines, I select and move the points along the X axis, clicking with the middle mouse button on the red manipulator arrow and pressing x to snapping to grid.

You rocks! Thank a lot, I´ve been using Maya for along time and I always was thinking why this incredible software doesn´t got a feature to align the vertexs, now I know how to do that.
