Hi Rob,

thanks for your tip, but I wasn't able to find the menu item you wrote about:

(Object->Object to marker)

I'm using Inkscape 0.45.1/Linux.

I'm guessing you are using the path-along path extension or LPE. Either of these will deform your objects along the path.

A workaround I have found is to turn your object (the circle) into a marker (Object->Object to marker) , and use the Effects->Modify Paths->Add Nodes extension to create nodes with an even spacing and change the start, mid and end markers to the newly defined marker shape (see attached)

Hi,

I've just been able to successfully tile a circle along a path, but the circles are partially deformed, and I would like to know how I can avoid this.

TIA,

Claus
