This command duplicates objects along a path.
It duplicates objects along a path by putting control points.
The duplicated shape is contained in a new object.
After putting an original object at the center, put two or more control points and a path through the control points will be shown. After putting control points, you can add more points or move them.
When control points are put, duplication objects are shown as boxes. And you can confirm a detailed shape by pushing [Preview] button.
At last, an object will be duplicated by pushing [Clone] button.
