Blending along a curve

After creating a blend you can make it follow a curved line or shape.

To blend along a curve

1. Select both the blend and the line or shape (see Selecting objects).

2. Select the Blend Tool.

3. Select the Blend along a curve button.

4. If you want the blend objects oriented with the curve also select Rotate along curve.

Tips:

You can use lines, shapes (including QuickShapes) and bitmaps. Note that QuickShapes and bitmaps are automatically converted to ordinary shapes.

The start of the blend (where you dragged from) is fitted to the start of the line or shape (where you started creating the line or shape from).

You can edit the curve using the Shape Editor Tool.

You can make the line or shape invisible; see Hiding the curve.

For blend along a curve, you change either the number of steps or the distance between steps - more details.
