[Closed] Spacing tool via Script?

Aug 04, 2011 10:44 am

Hi,

Is there a possibility to use the spacing tool via script? Ive only found “max spacing tool” but this only opens the window. I want to leave the window closed and use it via script.

In fact what I want to do is distribute some objects along a specified path. Is the spacing tool the right tool when using a script-approach?

Thanks for the Link,

But I need to do this along a Shape, not a simple straight line.

Well I solved it now by using a pathConstraint with no animation on it.
