samuel_studach

In the sketch mode: I want to translate or copy a circle along a spline or a radius. can i translate only linear or circular?
thanks for your help!

Not in a sketch that I know of
but pretty easy outside of a sketch:

Of coruse you will need to calculate the length of your sketch... sorry

Yes,

Select all the lines you want, then copy and paste,

then make one of the vertices coincident to the spline
