hey,  
i am trying to align a big set of random curves in a given grid  
…one curve centrically aligned to one sub-square

i got an example for you:

 ![gh_problem_grid_align](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/4X/7/c/d/7cdfa08c4abc2b111932a129dea0ec0cc1880066.jpeg)

1 shows what i got - many curves, all got the same overall position  
2 shows what it is that i got, spread - just for understanding  
3 shows the grid alignment and far right the wanted result  
the lower red rectangle is a quick summary

the part where i struggle is to align **curve 1** to **grid point 1** for example  
bounding boxes and midpoints are no problem

the sequence doesnt matter at all - **any curve to any rectangle**

i hope you can help me, thanks a lot, stay healty,  
blind apple 🙂
