Dispatch Cells
Used to distribute multiple cells evenly across a shape length. For example, this can be used to evenly distribute bolts along the length of a steel shape.
Accessed from:This feature will also add insertion points as markings to the shape (e.g., for NC-output). You can also add only markings without inserting a cell.
In addition, the function allows for the parametric generation of thread bolts or similar solids of revolution at simultaneous distribution analogously to the distribution of cells described above.
