Hello all, I've tried searching through the forums to first see if this has been asked and I did not find any, so I apologize if I am mistaken and this question has been asked before.

What I am trying to accomplish is to use some custom curves/shapes I made and have them follow a curve path just like the dashed stroke option for a curve's path.

Here is a photo of What I am trying to do (I kept getting upload errors so here is an Imgur link to the photo): https://imgur.com/a/dOWt5iu

Is this possible with the current set of features?

Thanks for any help.

Something like this?

On top, I created two shapes and Grouped them in the Layers panel.

I then copied the Group, drew a curve, clicked the curve with the Artistic Text Tool to give a Curve Path Text layer (top layer in Layers panel), then Pasted onto the curve several times.

Current features of what? – In AD (not in APh) you can create a texture/image brush of your pattern and apply this to vector curves, like so:

My apologies, I meant to say that I am trying to use Affinity Designer 2.

Thank you to both of y'all, these solutions accomplish what I set out to do.
