How to distribute items along a line?

Nstocks

Hello,

I would like to distribute several windows along a line, but they all need to be equally spaced apart. I have created the lines that they need to go along, and the window is to the correct dimensions.

Thank You

Daniel

There are two ways:

Select the object. Press the "Ctrl" key and then use the Move/Copy tool to copy the object to where you want the last object to be. Type in "/#", where # is the number of desired divisions. SU will divide the distance between the first and last objects by that number and place equally spaced objects.
If you know the distance between the objects, select the object, press "Ctrl" key, and then use the Move/Copy tool to copy it that distance. Type in "#x" where # is the number of repetitions (in addition to the first object).

The above is for Windows operating system. I think for Mac you press the "Option" key in lieu of the "Ctrl" key.

If it's a curved line, try PathCopy.rb at Smustard: http://www.smustard.com/script/PathCopy

And for more fun : Components Stringer by Chris Fullmer
Advantage: your have 3 possibilities of the size of the Components along the lines: Uniform, Stretch or none!
And they follow the "orientation" of the curves - lines!

You can of course take also a simple divided line with it! (Right Click on the line / Divide)
