How can I array objects and add a rotation to it each object?

Hey there, 

I am new here. 

I would like to copy an object multiple times along a path and with each copy add an rotation to it (from object centre point).

for instance:

1st copy 3° rotation out of x-axes

2nd copy 6°  rotation out of x-axes

3rd copy 9°  rotation out of x-axes

and so on

and I want to change the rotation

I have manage to do that for each object but with more than 100 copies this is pretty uncomfortable. There must be an easier way with the array command but how can I add the rotation to each objectt?

Please help, thanks.

I'd recommend not using Array components, because you want both motion and rotation. Make the appropriate transformation for each object, then apply them all at once.

Thank you David,

It took me a while to adopt this, but now it works fine with full control of spacing and rotation.

Perfect!
