The predetermined mode of operation of Pro Align Tools is Auto-Alignment. This mode is a combination of settings, allowing to choose very fast an Origin Point, a projection Plane, a Direction of alignment, and the use of local/global space.

Auto-Alignment mode make use of some special gizmos which are a combination of 3 axes (X, Y, Z), each one providing up to 3 depths of alignment. In total, a single gizmo offers 9 unique alignments. When combined with a bound box, you are allowed to use up to 27 different alignments within the box.

The Auto-Alignment gizmos are also available for some special points like the origin of the world and the cursor.
