For the life of me I just don't understand this behaviour. I've drawn an arc and use "Duplicate Along Path..." for my pars that I want to align follow the pipe around the front of the balcony, which it does just fine... EXCEPT once the fixtures hit the center of the arc, the label legends flip the wrong way — everything left of center are correct, everything right of center are not (see attached image). I tried cutting the arc into pieces so I can have the correct groups of six, and I still get the same problem. I have tried so many things, flipping this and that, changing direction of the arc(s), and making flipped legends. I can't stand this. There has to be a simple solution to this that I am missing. PLEASE HELP, so I can learn some new trick.

Dear VW community I have a blank VW2020 file open with nothing in it. I insert the simplest lighting instrument I can find. I try duplicate along path. (line tool A-B 6m) I try 5 duplicates. I try preview and it works. I try duplicate and VW crashes immediately. Any ideas what might be wrong? I got around it using another tool to do the same job, but it only works as long as my path is not curved. I never had vw2019, but ive been using vw 2015, 2016, and 2018 with this approach before and never had any trouble (unless duplicating to much stuff) Can something with my standard settings in VW make stuff like this harder? Thank you Magnus

Greetings and Happy New Year to you all, Has anyone figured out how to duplicate an object (locus,symbol) along a 2D path, be it a polyline, polygon? Developing a plugin to take a symbol object and have it duplicate along the Plugins 2D path (this being a 2D poly path plugin object type). Have tried the : def vs.GetPointAndParameterOnNurbsCurveAtGivenLength(inNurbCurve, inPercentOfLength): return (BOOLEAN, p, outParam, outIndex) by converting the 2D path to a nurbs object, running the calc, then copying the /out/ data to the 2D path poly. However just realised the convert to Nurbs command takes into account the orientation of the view. This makes it not feasible for a path-pio object. Any ideas? Cheers, Tui
