Divide

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to divide equally a line, Arc Circle, Polyline, etc. less than or equal to a specific dimension? <= 108"

MEASURE command (not DIVIDE) if I understood your need correctly.

I can do it manually, what I am trying to achieve is one step to divide and break a line, arch, circle, etc. into equal parts 108" or less as close to 108" as possible. example - if I have a line 1080 long it would divide and break every 108" for 10pcs. if I have a line 1020" long it would divide and break every 102" for 10pcs. if I have a line 387" it would divide and break every 96.75" for 4pcs. hope this makes sense!

@Patchy 's first link is where I would have sent you if they didn't beat me to it.  That contains two commands -- the one you want is DIV+.  And when it says:
    Enter number of Segments, or M for Maximum spacing <M>:

you want that Maximum option, and give it your maximum [the 108 mentioned in your description].

It has lots of improvements over regular DIVIDE beyond that possibility:  it will remember that Maximum option and your distance and offer them as defaults on later use in the same editing session;  you have more options about the rotation of Blocks;  you can mark with Lines or User-selected object(s);  it lets you put whatever the marking thing is at the ends of open-ended paths;  etc.  See the top of the file.
