Hi folks

I am a newbie to CAD really and a newbie to the forum, so I shall be hunting through the threads mucho in the future .

I am more used to DTP packages than CAD, but my querie is as follows.

I want to draw a poly line around an object (like a path) and then have CAD automatically attach a block unto and around that path.

I have made a small block to resemble hedging and instead of manually placing each block side by side along the site is there any way I can automate this process.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys

See the DIVIDE and MEASURE commands - and their Block option.
