Reference points & Instances

Hi.
I had an idea:
Some 3D applications use a feature called "instances" which are basically real-time copies of an object. – Which means if you change the original (reference) object, all instances will immediately change as well.

So the idea is a freely placeable reference point (green) with its' own freely rotatable axis; then add as many instances (orange dots) as needed (also freely/independently placeable and rotatable.)
Functionality: Every stroke you draw relative to the reference point (green) and its' axis will be copied and drawn relatively to all the instance points and their axes.

For a better understanding of the functionality and possible applicability I added a demonstration below:

Wow that could be a great feature! :o
added to the perspective tool it would be amazing.

+1 on this, working along the perspective and arcs with this would also be useful.

You can make it by kaleidoscope tool with "repeater" Or you can make it with a seamless texture. Not straight as on the video, but you can :)
Globally we planning to realize some repeater by the vector spline with scale and etc in the ideal. We've thought about it. But I can't to promise it 100%
