potroast Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Anyone know how to do this in Vectorworks? There's a command on AutoCAD and Rhino (DIVIDE) that subdivides polylines into equal segments. The equivalent in Vectorworks seems to be Modify>Drafting Aids> Arc into Segment or Line into Segment. But neither works for polylines. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Duplicate Along Path with a locus then Split the poly at each locus. Kind of a cumbersome workaround, but it could get you going again. -B Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 What Benson said. . .only take note of the polyline's perimeter length (possibly even Copy it) and when you enter the Dup Along Path dialog you can enter the length/x where x=number of segments you wish. (You can actually enter the formula directly in the dialog and VW will do the math for you.) Good luck, Quote Link to comment
