Well then the Transfer Tool is exactly what you’re looking for…

Let’s begin by selecting the object we want to place. (sphere)

Next we go up to the Function menu

and select the Transfer Tool

There are two ways to make the transfer happen…

The first is through the Attribute Manager of the Transfer Tool itself.

Under Options drag your target object from the Object List into the Transfer To: dialog box. (in our example, our target object is the Cube) In this attribute manager, you can disable various attributes. You can choose to transfer only Position, Scale and/or Rotation. When you’re happy, hit Apply.

The second option is to transfer directly in the Viewer.

Move your mouse over the target object. (Cube)

When you get close to the object a white line will appear in between the two objects.

And Click.

That’s it.
