How can I create an array-path?

Nick_B

I have to repeat my part along the line. The part should be tangent to the line. Is like a chain, see here below.

@ Nick_B , At this stage you can't make this in one option (like pattern along path) in Onshape.But you can achieve it by using linear and circular pattern.
You have to make linear pattern to travel along line and for last instance(which starts turning) you have use transform to rotate part then circular pattern for travel along the curve.

Ok thanks
