I used this advice and it works pretty well! I created a shape that acts as a jig to approximate how many bullet points I need to add in (to keep stitching at roughly the desired spacing across the stroke length). Thank you for such timely advice, this has solved my issue! While this works, it still adds a handful of steps and I still standby my feature suggestion to at least add a way to justify dashes across the entirety of the stroke. Illustrator has a one-click button that does this and it does make things nice and easy.

This worked great! Thank you!

I currently have my gap placement to 10 which is roughly around 5.3 mm spacing. On the example I included, the starting point is the top right node on the inside of the rectangle but I can't get a dash on the ending point. I tried to utilize the text on path option but it was grayed out. Is there something specific I have to do in order to enable the alignment options with text on path ?

I used to use Adobe Illustrator primarily as a way to create laser cutting files for my leather working designs. One feature that Adobe Illustrator has that I cannot figure out how to get working on Affinity Designer is the ability to evenly space out dashes across the entire length of a stroke. Another is the ability to change stroke in different units. This helps me out in creating uniform bilateral stitching that works on each individual panel when I separate the main design into each individual leather panel. I'm sure there is some way to do what I need to in Affinity Designer 2 but I have not been able to figure it out. I have tried messing with the 'Phase' setting, even using decimal places but I cannot get it close enough. Feature Suggestion: It would be very helpful if we can move stroke in different units (other than points) so that we can more accurately place dashes. A way to evenly space dashes across the entire length of a stroke ( for example spacing of approx. 3mm per 1mm dot but spaced evenly across the stroke so some shifting is inevitable) The file attached may illustrate the issue a little better. With the current method of stroke/dash spacing, it's not possible to get precise, evenly spaced stitching holes so that they line up uniformly throughout the design. The red circled dot with a red 90 degree stroke helps illustrate the primary issue. On a 4 panel design, you can see the stroke is never aligned for all the panels.
