Plugin Request? Copy Along Path with Orientation
I have tried the current copy along a path plugins (the 1001bit pro & power bar)neither seem to hold orientationand what's more require a continuous line.
%(#008000)[I would like to use this for copying symbols like electrical outlets and such among other things.
(image)...is it possible to do this already?]
I haven't used the plugin mentioned but...
'Face Me' components keep their orientation in copy operations, although related to your view/screen. (try rotate/copy array)
%(#008000)[Use a dummy 'Face Me' component to 'copy along path' or whatever copy plugin/workflow you think suites you best.
Next select them all and replace with 'NON-face me' symbol component of your choice.
They now have the same orientation.(*)
(*) you may need to orbit/tweak your view to get the dummy aligned correct in your model.
A preset little dummy face that you can select and 'Align View' to helps you to do so in a split second.
It's all just a few steps extra.]
Although a choice to keep orientation in a plugin is usefull, no doubt.
