Place and repeat objects along a path
Copy a selection along a path or align existing objects to a supported line or curve.
Along a path creates repeated copies along a chosen path. Other path-placement commands reposition or orient existing objects. Select the objects that should be repeated or moved, then pick the target path when the tool asks for it. These operations are available only in their supported drawing context.
Select objects and the tool
Select the source objects. Choose Along a path from the array tools to create copies, or the available path alignment, spacing or orientation command to reposition existing objects.
Set the repeat controls
For Along a path, configure Spacing and the copy count in the shared array controls. Additional options include Start Offset, End Offset, Perpendicular Offset, Side, Rotate to Path, Follow slope and Reverse direction where offered.
Choose how a multiple selection repeats
Use Repeat selection to choose As a group or Alternate objects. Group mode repeats the selected arrangement together. Alternate mode cycles through the selected objects along successive positions.
Pick a supported path
Click the intended line or curve when prompted. Check the preview and available confirmation action for the active operation. The target must be a supported path in the active editor; an arbitrary object is not a path.
Control orientation and finish
For path alignment, Align Angle controls whether the objects turn to follow the path. Review the result, then use the operation's confirmation action. Esc cancels the current stage; Undo reverses an applied operation.
