If i'm correct Dark was lookin for a way to do away with moving each one individually? If so here's a workaround that can save alot of time if you're trying to align ALOT of objects to your path... Get started by aligning and spacing several of your objects.. for example 20 spheres to your path... Now select ALL spheres... press CTRL + D to duplicate them... now for the tricky part... Save your work/scene and close it. Reopen your work... all the spheres should still be selected. You can now click on them (as a group) with the mouse and move them as a group. Repeat this several times and you eventually can move as many of them grouped as you can muster. If you omit the save..exit.. reopen steps.. the objects want to snap to the start of your path.. VERY annoying. Drawbacks? Well as Elect stated, the spacing is not consistant.. so as you move the group you may have to adjust the spacing for some of them individually. How's that for jumping through hoops? If someone (Zahnn help!) can find the other way please postttt. Blue
