Beads Angle Mode

Some object types (path types) allow to automatically rotate the bead according to the tangent angle of the path at the place of the bead. For this case the available options are:
oPerpendicular: Beads are rotated following a variable direction perpendicular to the path, plus the specified angle value. oTangent: Beads are rotated following a variable direction tangent to the path, plus the specified angle value. oFixed (default option): Beads are placed at a the fixed angle specified by the angle value. |
