Customizing the shape of anchor points

Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible to customize the shape of each anchor points of a drawing ?

I would like that each point of the green lign appears as a circle, like on the pink line. Is it possible to make it happen automatically or do I have to place each circle on each point individually ?

As Monika suggests, a pattern brush can do the job, but another workaround could be preparing a graphic style that suits your needs, seeing is better than words so I did a video for you, hope it helps

Hi, I could remember that a long time ago I saw a script from a Japanese page that could do this task very easy so I finally find it.

here is the page of the script, download the zip file, unzip and then look for the script named Dup At Selected Anchors.jsx

To make it work just draw the desired path and then the desired shape you want to be in every node of the path, this shape must be grouped and at the top of the stack order in the layers panel, select both and run the script

For those circles that sit at actual corners you could create a very specific pattern brush that does this. If the path goes straight on, then you would need to duplicate it, do some editing and work with effects, but would still be doable.
