Align feature is slow and a new Feature request

[Cowski4444]

Stefan,
Hey there! A couple of things. I apologize for the long description but I try to be thorough with my explanation so you know what's going on and I try to leave no questions to be asked. :)

1. I'm messing with the twist function for a plain box. I load up a box, make it 40x40x40. I drag another box on, make it 40x40x40. I then use the ALIGN feature (keypress "L") and IMMEDIATELY the alignment tool shows up! I use this feature and it's fine.
2. I clear out my workplane & start over. I drag a box on, make it 40x40x40 and then I twist it 180 degrees. No problem. I then drag another box out, make that one 40x40x40 and twist it -180. No problem. I ctrl-a to grab both boxes, hit "L" and the alignment tool takes 2-3 seconds to load up!
   I'm assuming it's because these twisted boxes are perhaps more complex then a standard box? I'm not sure. Just guessing. My computer specs:
   AMD Ryzen 7 7700x 8-core processor @4.5ghz
   32gb RAM
   12gb AMD Radeon RX6700XT on a 32" 2k\165hz monitor.
   1tb NVMe SSD memory stick.
   L:ayerling v1.137.0
   Running Brave browser and only 6 tabs open. I did try this with only 1 tab open and netted the same issue.
   As a side note...just bringing this up in case it helps. SimpCad X is running this procedure no problem. :)

Onto the FEATURE REQUEST

Is it possible to have a new shape snap to the center\center of the workplane? Also along those lines, if you are dragging a new shape, have it show the X & Y axis lines, I hate to continue to bring up Simpcad, but something like this:

@Cowski4444 thanks for the detailed description, it made this easy to find. To turn smoothly, a twisted box is cut into many thin bands (about 40,000 points for 180°), and when the align tool opened it worked all of that out again about twenty times instead of once per part. Now it does it once, so the tool comes up right away with twisted parts too.

And yes: when you drag a shape, it now also snaps to the centre of the workplane, and the pink guide lines show when it sits there on X and on Y. Hold Alt to drag without snapping. Both come with the next update.

@Cowski4444 both are out now in layerling 1.138.0.
