Alignment tools can use reference/center point of an object instead of edges
Following this discussion on Stack:
I think it would be great if objects in illustrator were treated as such - with edges, but also with a center point.
Aligning/rotating solely based on edges is extremely limited.
If an "Object point of reference" option was added, selecting several objects and rotating them all could result in them rotating around their center rather than the center of the group of objects.
Same with aligning and distribution... this is a feature that often blocks me and seems long overdue, I'm not sure why it's not more obvious for other users!
