Sorry, but I can´t remember how to apply objects to a winding path, with regular intervals?
Hi.
Using Alex's macro is best but one alternative is to paste items into text. Unfortunately this changes size to fit into the text. A macro would do this nicely however I have yet to try. The macro would have to take into account the objects size height, paste the item into the text, and with the convert unit method adjust the point size of the pasted character accordingly. Then you can use it with the fit text to path and you get all the bells and whistles that offers. Sounds like a great idea. Maybe I will try tonight.

Workaround, till someone point a solution:
1. I dragged objects manualy to path axis.
2. Selected all objects and applied "Align and distribute...".
Edit: This action is possible because the path has "almost linear" shape, without making curve of return (e.g .: circular path). If so, it would be impossible to use such workaround.
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.
