Depending on your desired result, there´s also
the Modify>Snap Align Objects menu.

You could also try expressions, starting in the most
simple form of :

pCube1.translateX = pCube2.translateX;



created by rightclicking in the channelbox on the

translate x channel and picking expression from

the dropdown menue.



I´m guessing you try to bake/simulate some transforms,

afaik there aren´t too many more options to put a null

at a specific point in the hierarchy of a transformchain

(parent/grouping it) after creating, then deleting those

constraints.

You might still have luck creating a simple MEL script

by copy&paste of what the scripteditor spits out when

you perform those operations. Drag that code, or your

modified version from the scripteditor to the shelf to

have some ease with the pain (and save all shelfes...)

Hey,

Having to work in Maya on my current project and am very frustrated. Anyone know if there is a way to match transforms in Maya other than manually creating point / orient constraints then deleting them? It's getting tedious having to do this each time.

If this feature isn't in the actual software package it's going on the list of reasons I hate the software.
