Pencil drawing/autodots and Doubling Dots

Sorry, I know talk is cheap and implementation costs, but I can't resist. Take or leave at will!
SUGGESTION #1: Dot Group Pencil Drawing
I would love to have a pencil dot drawing selector, so that could just "draw" a complex line or curve, and have dots appear on that line as I draw, all evenly spaced (according to a "dots per inch"/whatever spacing control).
Benefit: Instead of click-click-click from one micro-point to another, you would just drag and draw. If the spacing control is set to a very narrow range, you could draw scores of dots with a single stroke. Now that would be NICE!
SUGGESTION #2: Double the Dots in a Group
Along the same lines as above, Adobe Illustrator has a command: Object --> Path --> Add anchor points. Extremely handy. It basically adds an anchor point midway between each of the existing point pairs, effectively doubling the amount of "dots" in a single object (or "dot group" in FantaMorph). I know that the number of dots used is a key to good morphs. Sometimes I'll be working with a group of dots, only to realize I didn't make nearly enough of them for good resolution. If I had the Adobe-like feature just described, only for a dot groups in FantaMorph, I would use it constantly.
