Segment by Entity
Use this feature to create a specified number of equal length entity segments on a selected curve. The segments created are of the same entity type as the selected entity. For example, if you select an arc as a reference entity, the arc segments are created along the original arc.
NOTE: This function can only be used with lines, arcs, and circles.
Using the Function:
-
Select Segment by Entity from the Create>Segment submenu.
-
Enter the number of segments to create.
-
Select the entity on which you want to create the new entity segments.
-
If you select an arc or circle, you must enter the start and end angles to choose the part of the entity to segment. A series of x markers on the reference entity show the segmentation points.
-
Choose whether or not to accept the placement markers or select a new entity to segment.
