Multiplier plugin
Preamble: I'm not a programmer, almost all line of cods are stolen (including from me), especially from Emmanuel and Tobias. I've rewrite it from scratch. So, I've split the Paste special and distribute plugin on two separate plugins. This one is Multiplier plugin v1 which replace Paste special action. Also have some news: 1. The most important: it work with selection and no more with copy; 2. Are under Tool->Multiply... 3. I've add some improvement which I invite You to discover. It look like this (on default and nimbus look&fill) and here are a screenshot: I must mention the point position are relevant only for curved method. You are invited to risk and discover bugs but don't make illusion from me to solve them.

Re: Multiplier plugin
This is a wonderful intermediate workaround until we get a standard feature in SH3D (as I wished for here). I intend to be using this alot, and hope you keep perfecting it!
I fixed a bug in the order of creation. Thanks Emmanuel to open my eyes .

Re: Multiplier plugin
New version 2.0 Special thanks to @Daniels118 who have made the entire hard work. A lot of math problems to which the answers can not be found even on the net. My part on this plugin was to confused him as much as possible. Not too much news for about four months of work: -Rewrite it from scratch; -Made the UI to look more austere by eliminating some useless items; -Add rotate for all items and rotate name; -Added few new features on curved method: --two direction buttons, CCW and CW; --curve rotate angle; --five radio buttons: ---1.Fixed step; ---2.Touch on top; ---3.Touch at middle; ---4.Touch on bottom; ---5.Uniform on ellipse; --Add the radii length;
For options 2, 3, and 4, on plan, near the ellipse center, will appear a label with recommended number of pieces to exactly cover the entire ellipse.
How to use it? Your imagination is the limit.
Some screenshots:
Good lack!

Re: Multiplier plugin
That's is probably what was needed in this thread: https://sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,12794 As I had to use two different calculators to get the numbers for the segment coordinates I can understand that the math was not easy. I use this plugin quite often. Thank you to the both of you!
