We need better vector, spline based tools IMO in Designer

[kirkr5689]

Having  a tire track on a ground  driven by  a spline  for a example .  Decades agp I loved  Creative House Expression for so called "skeletal strokes"  . Splines where  you  could make up to 10 randomlly alternating fragments smoothly deformed along a spline.  

Also spline based scatterers  with precise control how much spacing  and offset objects  are  getting off the spline .    It had been much more controllable than typical  SD splatters. 

  It had been my first perfectly non destructive and procedural  soft for textures  in early 90th .

Still missing many of its features

I agree, it has been a long standing desire to have the ability to place shapes along a curve in a material graph.

Based  on my Blender experience all we need probably is just two color  gradients  representing   curve length factor  and normal  is 32 bit floating point as a curve outline color instead of just  flat color value + outline  width slider.      Then it would be simple.      Would be great  to have such option in SVG  node. 

If I could do it in many vector  soft , as a brush in Illustrator for example, except they are all just 8 bit    why not in Designer itself ?

We could do lots of flow effects too if it would be available.
