1. Select the object or objects you want to align.
2. Click the Axes Align to NURBS surface icon or choose the Tools > Transform > Axes Align > Axes Align to NURBS surface menu command.
3. The program console prompts Pick reference surface at tangency point.
4. Pick the point of the NURBS surface to which the axes of the original object must be aligned.
