Help me using divide with lots of lines

chapa1 · 7th Nov 2009, 05:44 pm

Hello guys, I have a series of parallel lines and need to turn them into points all at the same time (more than 1000 lines each file so I can't do it one by one).
I already used a lisp and calculated the total lenght of them all, but when I try to divide, it only allow me to divide one line at a time =////

I also tried to make them into a block and divide the block, but I recieve an error msg. I don't know where I'm messing up

I am not the kind of guy who asks question without doing some research, but I can't find anything about this case on google.

Anyone got some tips for me? Thx in advance.

Sorry, to make it more clear I need to divide them in points of 5m distance each. So I calculated the number of divisions to be made by total lenght. There's also the measure command that I recently learned, but I can't use it on all lines at the same time too.

You should search the forums.

I knew I had just helped out with something almost identical to this. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showth...ghlight=divide
Ron and I both posted one here, I'd only suggest mine because I added undo marks, other than that, we wrote the same thing.

The only thing you'll need to change is the number sent to divide. Not hard, just add a statement like (setq Num (getint "\nDivide number: ")) then replace the 10 with Num.

If you need any further help, just ask, and DON'T post multiple threads in different sections. Your questions will be viewed by everyone; no need to clog up the CT network with the same question.

Good luck.

Alanjt I finally got it!!! Your code reallly helped a lot!! I had lines with diffrent lenghts, so I changed the divide for measure, and adjusted the intervals as I needed, and worked like a gem!
Thx a lot fella!!!
