josh3ber Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I just got Vectorworks 2008 for windows xp and can't seem to find the duplicate along a path icon. I use that tool all the time in previous versions of Vectorworks. I've tried to use it from the edit drop down menu, but it doesn't let me. Has this tool been changed in the new version?

mike m oz Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Select both the path object and the object to be duplicated along the path and then select the Duplicate Along Path menu item on the Edit menu. Quote Link to comment
josh3ber Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks for the tip. I drew a path, then selected both the object and the path line and it worked. I like the old way better. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 the tool still ships with VectorWorks 2008, but you might have to add it manually to your workspace. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The move by points mode does what the dupe along path tool did and then some. The dupe along path tool is still there, as Jonathan suggests. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Does it? I can get it to use just a displacement vector, not to follow a path. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I agree, I can?t make it follw a Polyline path Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The Dupe Along Path menu will follow a path - you set a specific distance, or duplicate number. checkmark the tangent option if you want them to twist, too. Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 i thought you suggested the move by point tool.. Quote Link to comment
