You can achieve this effect using a dashed line. Setting the end caps to round 
and the spacing to zero for the dash produces a series of round circles along 
the path. It's much faster and easier than your method, though coming up with 
the exact spacing and line width needed to fit a given path exactly takes a bit 
of working out.
