Here’s how I do it. It only works nicely if you aren’t using any other constraints and for the global axes; there’s probably a better way. :stuck_out_tongue:

  1. Select one of the objects you want want to bring back/align/etc.
  2. Add a copy location constraint, tweaking the axes as you like. Use an empty as your target if you don’t already have one.
  3. Select the other objects, then the one you added the constraint to and copy the constraint (Ctrl-C).
  4. Visual Transform to Objects Loc/Scale/Rot (Ctrl-A, 2)
  5. Select one object, delete the constraint.
  6. Copy the deletion to the other objects.

If you want them all to align to view, select all the objects and press Ctrl-Alt-A and choose View.
