MattG Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I don't use the Duplicate Along Path Tool command often. I am trying to use it for something now, but it does not appear to be working properly. What I have is a Arc and a symbol that is basically a 3'-5" x 4" box. I want to array the boxes along the arc so that they make a line without gaps that all rotate properly. What I am getting is the first few boxes appearing correct, but then none of the rest following. Wondering if there is anyone out there who has mastered this command and might be interested in enlightening me as to what I am doing wrong. Matt Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted April 26, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi Matt You need to check the Tangent to Path box. Your initial object needs to be square to the page though - you don't need to rotate it to align to the arc. The Duplicate Along Path command will handle that for you. Hope that helps!

MattG Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Worked perfectly. My problem was that I was attempting to rotate the first box to match the angle of the curve. Thanks for the help. Matt Quote Link to comment
