Align object to a curve

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to modify an object and align it to a curved path, something like the image attached below:

Of course, that took me time I can't afford right now. Is there a way to automate that process?

Nope !

An automation would imply many questions and issues... The problem would be solved by dividing in many sub lines or parts, wouldn't it ?

I think that's what I did in the first place to show you that picture... but it implies time, besides, it is tedious.

For that, I am a user of Rhino, I must say. We can do that easily in it.

But in 2D, it could be possible with some vectorial softwares like Illustrator ?

I must say that I don't really know. Even in the Autodesk field of softwares, I don't know.

In Acad, I know that it doesn't exists, at least 😄
