Placing vias along curve/layer

Hi,

I’m currently trying to generate gerbers for EM-structures (aka Antennas) in KiCAD. However, I have a slightly more annoying structure where I can export the curve where the vias should be placed in a layer (i.e: Drawings currently) and I’d need to place vias centered on that curve. Usually speaking the software I use, a 3D EM solver, you would create full solid walls to replicate the behavior of the vias. This is what creates this curve I’m loading in KiCAD.

Is there a reliable plug-in or something along those lines that allow me to place vias all around (I have somewhere like 100-200 vias to place on different PCBs). Here below you have a part of a trace (red) and the drawing where the vias would be places in white.

you may use RF-Tools plugin: via fencing


it should be compatible up to kicad v8
