Straighten Components:

Straighten Components will work on both Edges and Vertices. This tool will take the furthest most verts as anchor points and straighten out any verts that are selected to create a line. The verts will be projected to maintain their natural offset to each other as much as possible.

Straighten Components comes with the Lock Axis option which is defaulted OFF. By clicking on an axis to lock, you will keep the components position on that axis. This allows finer control over the result you are trying to achieve.

Straighten Components will take DTools Mirroring into account. If Mirror is checked in the Modeling tab, Straighten Components will separate the vertices based off of the Axis that is selected. If mirroring is off, Straighten will take the whole object into account. This becomes powerful in conjunction with the Advanced Modeling Tool.
