Is it possible?

I found something... http://www.smustard.com/script/PathCopy . Thank you.
"PathCopy v.2.1
by Rick Wilsondescription Copy groups or components along a path, at set spacing or node spacing
usage Select "Copy Along Path" from the Plugins menu, select a path, then select a group or component to copy.
Copy to Path Nodes will make a copy of the selected group or component, placing the copies at the vertices of the selected path.
Copy to Spacing will make a copy at set intervals along the path. You may specify a distance in the VCB.
The zip file contains pathCopy.rb, vector.flat_angle.rb, and Icons/pathcopy.png"But:
Known issues
When using the "path nodes" option, items will NOT BE ROTATED
as they are copied. There is a fix planned for this. -
glad you found it - the fix has been in planning for quite some time so i wouldn't expect too eagerly : (
the plugin is great but it would be greater to have more options to copy along paths - some kind of superarray tool
-
tangents on the curved paths... definitely it will be very useful.
-
yes, and along multiple paths!

Yeah, I'm a bit slow lately. 8-month-old baby + overtime at day job = not much ruby time
It will get done eventually...
-
well well.. congratulations! we can wait for eventually no problem

Thanks!
Meanwhile, I am collecting the suggestions...
