    Posted: 12.Oct.2010 at 12:12

Hi

Is there a tool that will give you the centre (/2) or divide by any number between two points, ideally leaving some sort of mark to snap to later. At present I draw a temp line and either break it in half or snap to the midpoint. For more than divide by two I draw lines half way to get the quarter point, etc. it’s easy enough for half, quarter or even numbers but if I wanted to divide a higher odd number such as 7 and at each point add a item such as line.

Is there a tool that allows you to pick two points, asks you to enter ‘number of divisions’, then places snap-able marks at the chosen number of divisions?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

The command you are looking for is Divide.  But, first set the veriable PDMODE to a node of your liking, I use 99.  You may have to set PDSize to a size that will show up.  After this draw a line then use the Divide command.   Watch the command area and it will ask you for the number of segments to divide the line into.

As for what Ron C said, but you don't have to draw a line, simply pick the two points on the outsides of the distance to be divided. Then use the Node Snap to snap at each point. Also, instead of drawing a line and snapping to the center, try Snap mid between points, cuts out a line command.

Cheers.

Hi.
 
Try following this:
 

At any Command prompt to locate a point, enter mtp or m2p.

First point of mid: Specify a point

Second point of mid: Specify a second point
