Sorry, but I can´t remember how to apply objects to a winding path, with regular intervals?
Hey Silvio,
Use new path.
Cheers,
Chris
Edit... you would have to use blend then break it all apart
Hello Chris
Something weird is going on here with this function because I am not able to apply the objects to path. I can not tell if I'm doing something wrong or feature has a problem. Please tell me, step by step, how to proceed because my several attempts were unsuccessful. This is driving me crazy.
Hi.
Can you paste vector objects into text?
The macro will work but I am getting the objects turned to raster when I paste into text?
I thought I remember pasting a vector object into text before. Hmm.
Anyone?

Seems to work okay in Photo-Paint which is where I've used that trick before. I don't remember ever trying it in Draw before, but it doesn't look like it behaves the same way to me.

Yea. I thought I did it before but I guess not. Maybe an older version of Draw handled it better.
Funny, once you paste in a character you can't even break apart the text with Ctrl + K, or weld it.
I've been using a "paste at nodes" macro to place objects evenly along a curve. Note that you have to space your nodes evenly, so first I use another macro for that. Even though it's a two step process, it's still faster than manually placing the objects.
The paste at node macro was created by Shelby, updated by Joe (on the oberon forums) and myself.
The macro to add nodes is an old Isocalc.com macro called, CurveDivider. I've been using CurveDivider since version CD version 9 and it still works fine in CDGS X6!.
I'll post a video later to show you how it works...if my power stays on!

Probably better to use GetPointPositionAt with the final parameter of cdrRelativeSegmentOffsetThis way you can paste objects at a position evenly along the curve and it doesn't matter where the nodes are.
I guess nobody can verify pasting a vector object into text?

Where are you. I hope so!
I'm in the Eastern panhandle of WV. Our problem is wind and heavy wet snow. What a freak storm this Sandy has been!
About pasting the vector objects into text, all I get is pixelated vectors when I try. I remember you mentioning this before in another thread and I could not get it to work then either.

My prayers go out to you and all of the people in the storm.
PS. I sent you a PM Patti.

I haven't found pasting vectors into text very successful, especially if you are going to export it as a PDF.

Hey Joan,
Just tried it again and it worked fine... go figure.
