Dear all,

I would like to divide the irregular area drawn in Autocad into equal areas.How do I do it?.

I am using Autocad 2004.

I would like to divide the irregular field area into equal areas(either horizondally or vertically).

:huh: What irregular area are you referring to?

I am using Autocad 2004.I have drawn a agricultural field boudary by using polyline(irregularly shaped).Total area is 20 acres.I would like to divide the whole area into 5 sections of 4 acres each.

How can i do it?

Thanks

You can always use trial & error. Of course there are an infinite number of ways to divide it. But if as you say your dividing lines are horizontal or vertical (or parallel) then there is one solution. Guess location, draw a line. Check area using "bpoly" and "list" (or "area") on the polygon created. Move line as required to get desired area until close enough. Repeat.

If you had a civil/survey program such as Civil 3D, Land Desktop, Carlson Survey, etc. - you would have the ability to create a parcel out of your irregular area and then you could subdivide this parcel into smaller ones.

That is why I asked what software you were using. As Carl pointed out, it's a trial and error thing, these packages just do the trial and error thing for you.
