Hello.

I used to be able to select a line of vertices that were slightly askew and
go to say, transform x and type a 0 and they would all jump nicely to 0 and
be perfectly in line.

Now however, when I put in 0, the vertices sort of average themselves around
0..like maybe they are aligning the "middle" of the group to 0 instead of
bringing each vertice to 0.

What buttons should I have clicked? When I transform I am usually just
moving things with "View" turned on. I have tried the other
local/global/object/ref/plane options, but can't find one or combination
that lets me do what I want to do.

I think I am just overlooking something really simple somewhere..

Thanks

Thomas.
