auto add vertices

[grjames]

hi,

i need to greatly increase the number of vertices on multiply polylines. For example, one line has maybe 20 vertex and I want to increase that to 100 at an equal interval. the pedit/Edit vertex/insert route is just too time consuming for this task.

is their any other way to do this in autocad?

these vectors will be used in a 3d drape and so the extra vertices are needed to keep longer line segments above ground.

using 2002.

tia,

rob

I'm sure if you look enough, you may find a freebie "densify" lisp or vba routine.

We would just use ToolPac (http://www.dotsoft.com/toolpac.htm) here. It includes the command (Polyline | Modify | Densify)

See attached image for before and after. Took about 5 secs.

This was discussed in a recent thread, you may find something useful there...
