Hey
I want to divide a line segment, I can do this by divide command. But the Problem is that I want to trim few newly created line segments of the original line. Trying to do so erases the whole line.
So is there any command that could Divide the line, circle etc into required parts and allow me to trim few parts only?
Thanks

You could create a block of a horizontal line, and use that block in the divide command instead of using points.
The DIVIDE command only "divides" the selected object by placing points along that object. It does not actually break apart or "divide" the object, but rather, it leaves it intact.
To break the object into segments ("divide the object") you would use the BREAKATPOINT command and select each point that was placed on the object by the DIVIDE command.

The SD command linked to in Message 5 handles all of that for you, without the need to place Point objects [although it includes an option to do so if you want them]. You don't need to make each Break yourself -- it does them all.
Download SubDivide.lsp from the link. Use APPLOAD to load it in a drawing. Type SD to run the command.
If you would use it often enough to warrant, things can be set up so that it is automatically loaded in every drawing you create or open, so SD will always be available without your needing to go through the loading yourself.
