calculate_placement()

def draftobjects.patharray.calculate_placement	(		globalRotation,
			edge,
			offset,
			RefPt,
			xlate,
			align,
			normal = None,
			mode = 'Original',
			overrideNormal = False
	)

Orient shape to a local coordinate system (tangent, normal, binormal).

Orient shape at parameter offset, normally length.

placements_on_path()

def draftobjects.patharray.placements_on_path	(		shapeRotation,
			pathwire,
			count,
			xlate,
			align,
			mode = 'Original',
			forceNormal = False,
			normalOverride = None
	)

Calculate the placements of a shape along a given path.

Each copy will be distributed evenly.
