Unlike common array function, LayoutByPath distributes object copies along a path (curve) with a variety of array options. Users can choose random, division and measure options and array in different directions along the path.

Benefits of LayoutByPath

-Efficient distribution options such as: random, division and measure.

You can access to AreaSum from:
