I have noticed that the Add Multiple Supports when trying to follow a path will sometimes work fine but then other times it will completely move only in a straight line or angle. I cant seem to figureout why this is happening.

1. Bring in a model
2. Using the Add Multiple Supports function - start moving along the edges of a model
3. Sometimes it will follow the mouse and other times it will go straight or at an angle

Do you have the "snap support pillars to grid" option enabled? If you turn that off, it should add the pillars pretty much exactly where your mouse is touching the model. If you have it enabled however, the pillars may move slightly to reach a more uniform position. I tend to prefer having the Snap option ENABLED when I am adding a big region of support (imagine 100 pillars in a 10x10 grid), but like to have it DISABLED if I'm adding a very narrow line of supports along an edge or something.
