equally spacing lines

I am working on a building where the second floor is 10' above the first. I want to put some risers for the stairs in there evenly spaced. I know that there is a command that allows you to click the bottom floor line and then the top floor line. Once there it'll ask you if you know how many spaces you want or how many lines you want. You pick the one that you want and it'll fill in the space accordingly for you.

Does anyone know the command that does this? I hope that it made sense, and if it doesn't please ask me.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure what you described isn't in vanilla AutoCAD, perhaps it was a vertical version or a stair lisp? You can certainly accomplish the same thing with DIVIDE, MEASURE, ARRAY and COPY commands, but not as an automatic process.

Its not just for the stairs, you can do it for any lines. I was just using the stairs as an example. i know of the other commands but I know there is another command that does this I just can't remember what it was.

thanks though!

Perhaps you are thinking of another program (an AutoDesk vertical) or a lisp routine?

No it was in AutoCAD, cause at this firm right now we only use(d) AutoCAD. Its all good no worries.

thanks guys

Well don't keep us in suspense when the name of this magic command pops into your head. Share it with us.
