Pattern follow along path

[worktocode]

Hello everybody, 

i wanted to create a pattern with, in that example, circles and they should follow a path I’ve drawn. 
Is there any option that that the circles can snap to the path or if there is an option to set a pattern?

In that example it’s okay to do it with hand but not really precisely. 

thanks all.

It’s easy to create same size circles along a path, but I can’t see a way to create circles having such regular size variations along a path.

if you have a font contains circles as letters, you can use path text and set the font size manually.

Could you share with me how it would be possible to make that with same sized circles?

Create a curve, then set stroke to dashed.

• Set caps to round.
• set dash to 0
• set gap to taste

Another way, a bit more complex

1. create a curve
2. choose artistic text tool
3. click on curve to create path text
4. use glyph browser from text panel
5. choose font symbol, and filled circle. Double-click to add
6. use screen keyboard to insert tab 
7. mark both circle and tab and copy
8. paste as needed for number of circles
9. select a circle, set size to e.g. 4 px
10. Repeat for all circles, set size increments of 4
11. if needed, adjust tab spacing and alignment of characters to tab
