    I'm trying to align the brackets around a curve. The bracket must be perpendicular to the point along the curve. Is there a quick method for doing this? See attached jpg.

        Draw lines from the bracket location to the center of the curve, then align the bracket.

          Thanks Tom, I thought about that as one way. That would require finding the center point of the curve. The method that i used was draw a line perpendicular to each mullion. Then align each bracket to this line.

          BTW when zooming in how can I avoid the clipping of the view that occurs? Im having a tough time getting in close to view things. I know this has been talk about quite a bit but never knew if there was a solution. I tried changing zoom factor but this did not help.
