Hello ! Thakns for the script !
I've some issue on 2012 x64 (Windows).
This is simple : the distribution along the path is not equal ! Is it normal since there is some incompatibility woth 2012 or other problem?

As Ilyes DAOUDI, I have non equal destribution along the path too in maya 2012 x64. Is it should be like that or it may be a little bug? In the beginning of path the destribution is more concentrated, than in the center of it.

For those of you that are getting the distribution issue, change your Settings > Preferences >Animation > Tangent Default in and out to Linear. Fix coming very soon so you wont have to do this! I apologize!

Update: duplicate distribution fix is here! You don't have to change anything if you have the newest script :)

Thanks John, loving this script!

Please ignore the bug report I posted earlier, this was entirely my fault!

Hello,
Script look's very good but I have a problem to load it, when I type DupAlongPathToolbox;
in the mel command I get this :
// Warning: The -la/-labelAlign flag is obsolete and should not be used. //
// Error: Invalid flag '-floatChangeCommand' //
And the menu don't appear.
I'm using Maya 2011 on windows 8.
Anyone have an idea ?
thank you in advance

Hi,
I have the same problem with the line
// Error: Invalid flag '-floatChangeCommand' //

I have changed the mel int the line 1288 to

// -floatChangeCommand "DAPfloatStateSwitch"

It works, but I dont know anything about mel. I dont know what is the right way to eliminate the problem.
Thanks.

Hi gverdier and laszlo.branda,

I just submitted a new version of the script, 1.4.7, this should fix the problem you guys ran into and anyone else who is running Maya 2011. The -floatChangeCommand flag was introduced in 2012, doh!

This is a great tool, Thank You!!!

I tried to add a feature request but Creative Crash request link kept bringing back to the log in screen, no matter how many times I logged in.

So here it is... It would be great if there was an option to move and sew UVs along the edge-ring of which the meshes are connected with.

For example if I was making a dirt pathway, tree branches, the UVs would be seemless.

Thanks again John!
