Option to Align to Bleed

[Lavish_Moonlight0D4C]

Currently in illustrator you have the option to align objects to Selction, Key Object, and Artboard. Since I've been using the software, and working heavily for print, I the need to align to bleed has always been necessary. 

My request is to add a fourth option to align to bleed.

This is one way that you could do it by manually creating the trim marks.

Draw a rectangle about 1/4 inch outside the bounds of your artwork where you want the crop. 

With the rectangle selected, choose Effects > Trim Marks. The rectangle will be selectable; the trim marks will not be selectable (although you could Expand Appearance to make them selectable).

You could now align any object to the rectangle.

I sort of do that now by making a rectangle to the size of my bleed and then center it to the artboard, but that means i have to find and select that rectangle everytime i need to align. would be much easier if i could just click a button like the other three options. Its a work around, but thank you for offering a solution.
