To fit objects to a path, just select all the objects in the order you want them to appear on the path and then select the curve to fit the objects to. The curve must be selected last!
Note that in CorelDRAW 11, objects can be fitted not only to a curve but also to simple shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, polygons, etc. In CorelDRAW 10, though, only curve shape can be used as a target.
After launching the macro, you will see the following dialog box:
Select appropriate options and click Apply. The objects will be spaced evenly on the curve.
There are two different distribution modes: By Centers and By Spacing.
When distributing the objects by center positions, the objects are placed on the curve so that the object's centers are spaced equally:
Distributing objects by spacing places the objects so that the distance between object edges is equal:
The objects fitted to a curve can be placed and rotated along the curve simultaneously. When Rotate objects with curve is checked, the objects are automatically rotated according to the direction of the curve as in the above illustrations. When the checkbox is cleared, the object orientation doesn't change:
When the target curve has several subpaths, it can be treated as if each subpath were individual curves:
If Treat Subpaths As is set to Parts Of Continuous Curve, then objects are placed on the subpaths as if they were all connected to each other:
It is convenient to use Oberon Selection Manager with this program to save the selection and restore it later in case you want to modify the curve and then re-fit the
