Firstly, thanks Jon for a super program that just keeps getting better! I've been a happy user for several years now.
I've had an idea for a future feature (I can't see any other threads about it, but I do apologise if it's been suggested before).
It's basically about distributing objects on a path or line, as you can do in many graphic design programs. I'm currently putting in 100-meter distance/edge markers on dirt runways, and was thinking that it would be lovely if you could just go to an "objects on a path" tool, draw a line, and then choose the library object that you wanted, the quantity, and the object heading, and then they would appear at equidistant intervals along that path.
I suppose this could also be useful for other things, like lines of powerpoles, lines of trees (perhaps with a random object heading), lines of ramp lights, and various other objects that I can't think of right now.
Do you think that such a feature be possible with an economical level of programming effort?
Cheers,
David
