How can I align objects which are in a curve to a straight line? I thought I already knew the answer to this but when I tried I could not get it done, quite frustrating!

I have about 1000 objects that I need aligning in this way (see attached image).

I was wondering if it is possible to use dynamic blocks to stretch a rectangle evenly, using only 1 point? I have attached a PDF of a rectangle with 2 lines coming out of each side (before & after picture). I want to use dynamic blocks to pick a point at the top right of the block, so that when I pull it out, the lines will extend, but stay attached to the rectangle. I also what the rectangle to stay in the center at all times.

If you can understand, please help! Is this possible?

I was hoping if anyone has a lisp routine for inserting brackets around text by clicking on the text and wrapping the text in brackets or something along those lines rather than clicking on text - and inserting brackets yourself individually.

I've found one for curley brackets but I can't seem to get it to work and my limited knowledge of programming, I can't change the code.

Recently switched to Acad 2009 Via autodesk inventor suite 2009..... This comes with ACADM and vanilla. Post installation my express tools did not load (vanilla acad) I checked support path and found the cui there. Manually loaded the express menu and the menu loads but the commands are not recognized. For every express menu command I tried I got unknown command in return. DEMANDLOAD is set to 3. Have re-installed twice with no success.
