Description |
Select entity to divide |
Choose a single entity; this command works with the following entities:
|
Number of segments |
Specifies the number of "segments," which means equally-divided distances between points. Prompts you:
Entering 2 for the number of segments places a single point or block at the midpoint of the entity, as the entity is divided into two segments. There is always one more segment than points placed, as no point or block is placed at the start or endpoints of the entity. Points on an entity are essentially invisible, so you can use the DdPType command to change their look and make them larger. After points are placed on the entity, you can use the NODe entity snap to attach other entities to them |
Blocks |
Places equally-spaced blocks along the entity, instead of points. Prompts you:
Number of segments - (type an integer between 2 to 32767) |
