FS#1254 - Add drop object along a path with automatic trim
Add drop object along a path with automatic trim.
- The object can be a selection before or after selecting the tool, an entity or a block.
- The path can be another entity from a start point to an end point.
- Dropping can be made on one side or the other (like in other tools depending on the side of the cursor), with a choice of miroring the object or not.
- The number of drops or the distance between can be selected.
- The distance can be between a control point of the object or its sysmetry axis or border.
- The dropping direction can be selected too.
- The droping depth can be constrained : all control points have passed the path, or one of them. Alternatively, replace control points by an entity belonging to the object.
Exemple of use case : equidistant drills in a curved rail. The dropping depth constraint enables for example to ensure a drill has a minimal depth when not orthogonal to a plan.
The example drawing was missing (attached)
IMHO this is a to specific usage to be implemented.
It can partially be done with Paste along Entity (PE), trimming is then not automated.
PE lacks the functionality to specify the position of a first item in distance mode.
