May not be understanding this completely, but you could give = this script a try -- http://aescripts.com/create-pivotal-null/

Just select the closest point in the little map to wher= e the top of the stroke ends, deselect 'parent to null' and execute= .

Would that work?

The use would be to add text to these points and have them t= rack with the camera. So I could undo rotation, parent and redo, but I'= d like to be able to just set all my lines and choose which one's I=A0w= ant to add text to.
