  |'''Align (L)''' will only be available when selecting more than one shape at the same time (you may box select or hold shift down while selecting shapes to select multiple). Of course, this makes sense, as the tool allows you to align two or more shapes relative to another. The alignment can be in either dimension, and is not limited to center alignment (shapes' sides can be aligned as well).

  |'''Flip (M)''' is available when one or more shapes are selected. This tool will allow you to mirror a part along its midplanes (X-Y, Y-Z or X-Z). If you select multiple shapes at the same time, the flip tool will see the selection as one shape and use the midplane of the selection as the midplane to perform the flip operation.
