Drawing a line of a fixed length, then snapping the centers of each cylinder to the endpoints of the line worked perfectly. Thanks!

By the way, I wish there was a "reset all" button for every viewpoint. I work in different viewpoints all the time, and one button to reset everything would speed up the process. Of course, that would also complicate the software more, and I like it for its simplicity!

Hi Alligator, if you do a right-click on the viewport's Reset button it will do a reset of all viewports.

script:moi.view.resetAll();

add this to a script key like ctrl+R , resets all
