Looks like the source code to do it is included in the download in pathalongpath.py. It&#8217;s a python script. Took a look. Hard to decode, but looks like it&#8217;s doing what I thought you&#8217;d need to do. Divide the path into small pieces, rotate, translate your symbol along the path. The key part, use a group for the symbol, which is what these 3rd party svg&#8217;s I have use. I think I can do it, but I need to play around a little more. <\/p>\n<p>The latest version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/Graphics\/SVG\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">svg<\/a> graphics editor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiyut.com\/products\/sketsa\/index.html\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Sketsa 4.0<\/a> has been released.
