[Qgis-user] calculate movements along line

[Carlos Cerdán]

Hi Jens:

Not a totally GIS advice, but in this case I use AutoCAD (I think 
BricsCAD works also): there is a command to do what you want trough a 
line: measure.

Measure puts a block trough a line, every X units.

After that, you can export to DXF format and import to QGIS.

Good luck!
