Array a 2D object along a 2D irregular polyline

[unearthed]

I've searched and searched to find a way to do this (have found Marionette routes - but that seems a sledgehammer to crack a very small nut). I want to duplicate a 2D object (a symbol that contains a circle) a fixed distance apart, prob. about 14 metres,  along a 2D irregular polyline - it's for a wiggly line of trees and I'm just using it to visualise how it looks and may feel.

 

Bonus points for doing this to a random, or fibonacci distance.

Duplicate Along Path menu command in the Edit menu should do it.

Thanks very much Pat, I've just never needed that before.

Thee is also the custom Line type route if that is more appropriate and takes about the same time to set up.
