Aligning parts

Is there a way to align symbols in Allegro?  PADS has a nice feature to do that.

    There is a user contributed SKILL routine. Not sure if you can get it from this site but it is certainly in the Allegro SKILL library on SourceLink, it has moved around a bit but a search on SourceLink for "Allegro SKILL" usually finds it. There will be a large collection of donated routines in the library, documentation will usually be within the "IL" file itself.

     I did find a Skill script named, "align_sym.i," and it appears to be what I want.  Upon use, it did not give me expected results, though.  The Skill code is from 1993 and so I'm wondering if it's out-of-date with the current release.  I'll play around with it some more and see if I can get it to work, as-is, and I'll update the forum.
