AutoCAD Dividing points

Brief introduction of 6.1.1 points

Sometimes the user asks for an isometric division of an object and needs to be labeled at the points. For example, road lights, boundary symbols, and so on. AutoCAD provides two ways of dividing objects (figure 6-1).

(1) DIVIDE: the "DIVIDE" command divides the specified objects evenly into segments and identifies them with a point or block object. This command requires the user to provide the number of segments, and then automatically calculates the length of each segment based on the total length of the object.

(2) MEASURE (fixed distance Division): the "MEASURE" command can also divide the specified objects evenly into segments and identify them with a point or block object. This command requires the user to supply the length of each segment, and then automatically calculates the number of segments based on the total length of the object.

The objects that can be divided in AutoCAD include line (straight line), Arc (ARC), SPLINE (spline curve), CIRCLE (circle), ELLIPSE (ellipse) and polyline (multi-segment lines), etc. The point (points) and block (blocks) are used to identify the spacing points. For a detailed description of the block, see section 6.4 of this chapter.

It is shown that the equal order in AutoCAD does not really divide objects into independent objects, but only points or blocks are used to indicate the position of the halves.

Creation of 6.1.2 dividing points

The "divide" command is invoked in the following way:

Menu: "Draw (Drawing)" → "point" → "Divide"

Command line: Divide (or alias Div)

When this command is invoked, the user is prompted to select the Divided object:

Select object to divide:

The user is then prompted to specify the number of segments, or to select the Block option to divide the blocks by using the Chunk object:

Enter the number of segments or [block]:

The "measure" command is invoked in the following way:

Menu: "Draw (Drawing)" → "Point (dot)" → "Measure (fixed distance)"

Command line: Measure (or alias me)

When this command is invoked, the user is prompted to select the Divided object:

Select object to measure:

The user is then prompted to specify the length of each segment after the division or to select the Block option to divide the blocks by using the Chunk object:

Specify length of segment or [block]:

Note that the different types of objects are divided into divided or divided by the number of paragraphs of the starting point is also different. For straight or multiple lines, the segment begins at the nearest endpoint of the distance selection point. The segment of a closed multi-line line begins at the beginning of a multiple-segment line. The starting point of the circle is the intersection of the capture path and the circle with the center of the circle as the starting point and the current capture angle.
