Equal division of a line


Recommended Posts

If you only want those loci as snap points for something else, there are sometimes quicker ways to do it, skipping that step.

For example, if the line is horizontal, and what you really want are lines perpendicular to it at 12 equal intervals, you could draw one vertical line at its left end, then group that while it's still selected, then enter the group, then offset the line to the right 12 times (or array it). The offset distance doesn't matter -- you can use 1", or whatever it's already set on. Then exit the group, grab the right center handle of the group and drag it to the right end of the horizontal line.

You could also use the Snap to Distance constraint and set the division value - length, fraction, or percentage.

Then use the split tool to split the line while snapping to the "Along Line" cursor cue
