1) Some kind of grouping function, so groups of disjoint figures can be aligned with each other. Say centering chunks of 3D text relative to other items. As it stands now, trying to blocks of figures relative to other blocks causes some of them to be moved to the alignment point, instead of preserving their relative offsets.

2) A way to align or distribute a group of objects along a curve ( like 3d text ).

As a side not, it seems to be impossible to project text outlines onto a cylinder using "Closest Point". Direction works fine
