Thanks Massimo, that's the one.
You could also use component stringer. Each has it's different uses.

What do you mean?
-
pathcopy.rb won't align components along path.

Which is why i said....

It aligns the blue axis along the path. Change the axis of your component to get the result you want.

It's clear but it's not logical and not user friendly at all. Try effortlesslyto change 'road dash line' component axes.

Obviously a little math,
the math part, at least, can be handled by sketchup.
if you have a line drawn then right-click on it-> Divide, there is an interactive tooltip which pops up.. as you move the cursor along the line, the amount of divisions along with the spacing in between will update..
do that to figure out how many copies you need then ESC or spacebar out of the tool (as to not actually break it into the divisions.. easier deletion after you're done with it)
use to copy/move the component from one end of the line to the other and enter**/n**
(n being the number you were given from the divide step)
http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/94867of course, this only works if array is in a straight line but that seems like what you're trying to do here.

there's also a Align&Distribute plugin which will help you do this (get even spacing in between objects) if different size components are being used.. it's probably a bit overboard for your current scenario as i understand it.
