Is it possible to make an array of an object follow a curved polyline?

Basically what I'd like to do is this:

I work for a landscaping company. I have a library of plant symbols that are easy to insert, but there are no symbols for any rock or boulder material. This means if I want to make a boulder wall, I have to copy the "boulder" object that I made with a polyline and paste/rotate it myself to follow a curve. Is there any way to automate this?

yes.
create a block
type _divide
select polyline
type B (for block)
"enter block name"
Y/N Align Block, enter number of blocks to add.

should do the job for you.

Just make sure you set the correct insertion point in block.

You can also use the above technique with Measure command to set a certian distance apart.
