Absolute Move and Aligning objects

[VladD]

Hi,

I'm wondering if I'm missing something when using the absolute command move so as to align multiple objects.

For example, if I have 3 objects at differents Y positions, when I use the abs command Move I notice that when I check the Y align box, the objects are not aligned (even if I update the view) but their duplicates are (if I also use the duplicate option), which puzzles me a bit. what am I missing, or misinterpreting with this command, to align my existing geometry and not duplicates?

I'am guessing that it has to do with the reference point of the multiple object selection... ?
