I just found my favorite tool in AS7. I do a lot of point animations and always used translate point tool and constantly fought with it selecting every point if I accidently clicked a line and having to hit ctrl z so much the ink on those keys are worn off my keyboard. And low and behold I had the tool all along that does EXACTLY what I needed for over a year. The Magnet tool I speak of. LOl how in the hell did I miss this new tool in the 7 release? I guess I was too lazy to actually try out new tools and see what they can do.

to make matters worse, the magnet tool has been around for longer than that! - if you use fazeks mod you can set it to only effect selected points which can help to avoid smooshing unwanted parts around.

D'oh thanks funks, I went from AS 6 Debut to 7 Pro so I was unaware of it before. But I am still guilty of not knowing I had it

I rarely use it myself, although probably should, i believe fazeks version includes symetry options as well... although it might be someone elses mod, i think it's called 'super magnet' or something like that - maybe someone with a better memory can step in

I personally consider Dodgy's version to be the definitive version, as it adds the ability to use <Alt>-Drag to change the radius to Fazek's version.
It's available from his website:
