I don't know what you mean with Curve weight, but if you wanna rotate a
curve numerically, select the points of the curve and go to Model -> Rotate
and enter the desired values.

If you have one part (the left one in the +x direction, for example),
translate it
so the coincident curve with the other half meets the y axis.
Clone the part you have and flip it in x.
Hide this selection (the flipped part)
Select a portion of the curve that lies in the y axis and delete it using
Model -> delete selected curve.
Go to Select -> Show All
Now select the points of the 2 halves that are coincident in the y axis
and go to Select -> Inverse
Now Select -> Hide selection.
Merge all the coincident points (click on a point and click with right
button)
Now go to Select -> Show All
and there it is.

Still don't know if I've understand correctly your problem.
Feel free to send me an e-mail with your .hmp file to see it clearly.

Hope this helps.
