I've been banging my head against the desk for the past several hours trying to figure out how to repeat lightbulbs along a path. Yours is the first tutorial I've found that makes any sense. Thanks!

Hello Teela,

OMG - thank you - so easy now. Just discovered your tutorial series today and they are fabulous. Easy to follow and saved so much time.

This is still an elegant solution 8 years later! Thank you!

So happy I found your channel! Already learned many different, easier ways to do many time-consuming tasks! Thank you so much!!

I said "YOU CAN DO THAT" so many times while watching this lol I need to see your other videos now!!

How would you go about repeating an array of object of equal distribution along an oval? This particular problem has me really perplexed.

Thanks! I found this really useful for printing alignment marks for the webbing on a backpack shoulder strap along a path.

what i like about your tutorial is you get the message across efficiently. e.g.: you didn't spend a lot of time on drawing a nice path (which is not necessary). You just need a path to show how we do the blend and replace spine function. Some tutorials, they would spend a long time doing a nice path which is not the point of the tutorial.

How can i make the distance to each object same? I tried it with circles along a form, but the circles keep overlapping.

Woww! Watching you using Adobe Illustrator denotes how skilled you're. I learned lots of new tips and tricks while you were explaining the main topic. Thank you! :)

Thank you! I know i've done this before but it's been a while, thanks for the refresh! Very clear teaching style

Firstly, thanks for posting...really useful. Quick question...how do I create a line of the same shape (like a circle) but going from small to bigger and then when blended (say 10 shapes in total, going from small to large), the space between each shape is exactly the same? I'm stumped!

I just discovered the power of the blend tool a few weeks ago. So many things you can do with it! Where has this been all my life! :p

Hi thanks for the info. Repeating shapes is one thing but how would you align any set of shapes along a path. That is shapes you didn't create with a blend?
for instance exaggerated individual eyelashes along the curve of an eye lid rim
