//  This simple script create 4 curves at 45 degree interals, 

//groups them, and renames the group "da_angleManip".  Useful for 

//snapping curves you're creating to a 45 degree angle. 

//

//Apologies to advanced mel users for the simplicity of my scripting skills.

//To use:  Place this script into your My Documents/Maya/Scripts folder.

//Launch Maya and type the command "daAngleManip".  If Maya is already

//running, source the script first, then type the command.
