The Shift X This places what ever you Rezzed on the grid line up. Helpful if you want to line items up. To copy items with the arrows. What ever you Rezz.

To Link Prims.

Select thePrims to be link by using the Selection Tool in the Edit Menu box. Then drag your curser over all that you want to link. This places a faint yellow box around all the Prims and also highlights them.

Then one of two ways to Link is to go to the Tools Button on the top of the screen and find Link or you can select all the Prims and Crtl L. See faint yellow lines? Note you cant link prims that are really far apart. So keep it close. The root prim is one color (yellow) and the child prims (blue).
