[Spacing tool] Correct Z align when distributing copies along a spline

[Kranos_Orphydian]

The Spacing tool is an awesome tool as a concept, only if it worked as expected. The copies distributed along the spline will not keep the correct Z align in most of the cases and you'll have to manually adjust each copy. Here Arrimus 3d is facing the same issue.

Someone offered this workaround and script but a default more elegant solution would actually make this tool useful.

As we know - that spacing tool is very old.  One problem it has always had is the preview of the objects will disappear if you zoom/pan.  This tool could be updated into a unified parametric array modifier - possibly something like the ItooSoft Clone plugin, but with a path array included.

that would be the optimal long term solution indeed  but it implies a lot of other changes. That's why for now I posted this little fix suggestion. Also this tool is more on the array side of tools than in Align ones so its natural to be included in an enhanced Array
