I am trying to create a Stroke and Fill that has a 1.5 mm dot spaced evenly every 6 mm around the perimeter of an image. I cannot seem to get the dots consistently spaced. Any advice?
Here is what I'm trying to do. I was able to get it done last night but had to individually alter each of the nodes. They were not consistent at all. I was reading about interpolation and was wondering if there is a way to interpolate two paths (i.e., the 1.5mm dot) along a defined path. So if I create the node and put a dot at each end, can I interpolate that dot a specified number of times along that specific node?
No worries @PixelPest. I speak enough to get by but definitely not a coherent conversation. Thanks for the advice. I will give the Scatter Extension a shot and see what happens.
@PixelPest it is 140.7 mm horizontal and 125.8 mm vertical. The last picture you posted appears to be a very consistent distribution. I will note your settings and use the Scatter extension. I can tell however, that yours is in scale by the number of dots on the right side of the distribution. 11 is what I was shooting for.

A screenshot might help. So far I can recreate it:

Then probably the Extension "Scatter" from =Extension->Generate from Path->Scatter something for you:

Oops - I mixed up with another thread in the German forum. I edit my previous post.

Is you screenshot 1:1 in scale? If not can you tell in mm what it is horizontally?
This is what I have so far - but I can´t tell if it´s in scale:
It's probably also worth looking at the "Pattern Along Path" live path effect.

@Xav I will try that as well.
Can´t get any closer "per default" than this:
File attached. Have Fun.
@PixelPest your advice was spot-on. After a bit of fumbling I got everything to work out perfect. Thank you for the assistance.
