Alfred 3,866 Posted September 1, 2017 That video demonstrates the 'Power Duplicate' feature, which transforms copies of the original object. It doesn't distribute objects along an arbitrary path. 2 BatteriesInc and telemax reacted to this Alfred Affinity Designer 1.7.0.367 • Affinity Photo 1.7.0.367 • Windows 10 Home (4th gen Core i3 CPU)Affinity Photo for iPad 1.7.0.135 • Affinity Designer for iPad 1.7.0.9 • iOS 12.3.1 (iPad Air 2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pšenda 265 Posted September 1, 2017 Alfred: Yes, this is not an arbitrary path, but telemax Fig. 2 and 3 is not only distribution of objects, and transformation (rotation, size) is also required.

Alfred 3,866 Posted September 1, 2017 I haven't tried it, Pšenda, but I don't think the size changes in Fig. 2 or the rotations in Fig. 3 can be achieved by simply power duplicating without manual intervention. The last three circles in Fig. 2 look much smaller than the first four, and the rotation of the last three rectangles in Fig. 3 looks greater than the rotation of the first three.

telemax 28 Posted September 2, 2017 With Random Distribution. 1. add object in list 2. pick path 3. play with settings Falloff Scale: 1 bowen192 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BatteriesInc 62 Posted September 7, 2017 This is where software/scripting would come in handy, I guess. Regards, Binc Warning: dark, twisted sense of humour. Do not feed after midnight.

Dean Reardon 36 Posted November 24, 2018 While it is not a vector along a path and you can't interact with it, you can create a raster brush image and then have the image brush run along the path. Not great if you want to resize a vector design as the brush is a raster image. But if you initially make your image (say a round ball) to the size you expect to use it, save the object as an image and use that as a brush, you can then have it follow a path, you can then manipulate the path, etc. It is a work around. Albeit not a perfect one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing costumers know is that it is not available and that development of new features takes forever. If you are not already working around this limitation you can get it for free in Inkscape get it for only £40 in Xara Photo and Graphics Designer (reduced price in April, Windows only) From a trial version of Xara - examples took me a minute to create. Export to PDF and import in AD. Envelope distortion (also missing feature in AD) is just a click away too: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
