In the main editor UI, right-clicking and selecting ‘Snap View to Actor’ is handy.

Is it possible to somehow achieve a ‘Snap Actor to View’ ?
(i.e. move an Actor to the current view’s location and orientation)

Hi Ash22,

There isn’t an option for this in the engine. There are some other snapping options that you may not have been aware of that may help, but there isn’t anything this specific.

Thank you for your suggestion!

There is the option to “Create a camera here” (top-left of viewport, down arrow).
You may, however, need set the particular settings for this camera, as it is not the same as the viewport.

Is this still not possible? It used to be something you could do in UDK for placing lights precisely etc.
