Objects on a path with a given distance

[KhamidulinGK]

Hi, everybody

I'm sorry for my English, I'm just starting to learn it, but I have a question about affinity designer

How do I place objects on a path with a given distance?
I want to learn how to do this: I draw an arbitrary line; I set this line as the path on which I draw objects; I place an object at the beginning and end of this line; I create similar objects between these two points, with the same distance between them

I attach the screenshots that I want
In the last screenshot, the distance between the circles should be the same

Yhank you so much for your attention!

PS
I found an example of how to do this through the creation of a brush, but how to set the same distance along a certain tra

A first workaround:

Copy the object to the clipboard, use the text on path tool, paste the object from clipboard,
use spaces or objects without color for the space between the objects.

This is probably the best we can do, but it’s very much a workaround! It doesn’t produce regular spacing in the OP’s scenario where there are straight lines joined by curved corners.

I have done this one with a monospaced font:

(But you are right: it remains a workaround.)

Does it matter whether the font is monospaced? I don’t think it should: the space character in any font has a fixed width.

My mistake. The function "Baseline" (Set path text baseline offset) from the Context Toolbar was decisive.

I had lost track of my experiments.

With a font, spaces are not necessary, just set "Tracking".

Using Text/Glyph on Path is evenly spaced:

Using objects instead of a font, the baseline is not adjustable, unless I miss something.

It is adjustable with the function "Baseline" from the Context Toolbar.

@Optische Ausrichtung,

thanks for the clarification, I hadn't thought about the contextual bar!

[PixelPest]

Nope - pasted inline don´t move unless you use "Pinning". which is just available per object.

[G13RL]

However, objects pasted on a line behave as a single object.

Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your response, I did everything with the help of text and path!
