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.
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!

Hi.
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.

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.
Here's a video of my PasteClipAtNodes method. The macros on the floating toolbar are CurveDivider on the left and PasteClipAtNode on the right. Just sharing another way to accomplish the task.
