Is there a command/tool similar to the Linear Array tool that let's one Distribute an indicated number of objects along a line/path? I want to copy a certain # of parts along a line, but want the spacing in between to be determined automatically as a I drag the copies. I don't want to set a spacing dimension. Does that make sense?

With V7 we also updated this tool to align wrt surface normals if you want to distribute along a surface or solid.
