How can I divide a line while controlling the segment length?

[khanh_personal_contact]

I want to divide a line into multiple segments. I did some research and found that AutoCAD has the BREAK command for this purpose. However, it seems that the command only lets me specify the start and end points, without entering a numeric value for the segment length.

So, I’d like to ask:

1. Is there a way to use the BREAK command while inputting a specific distance value for each divided segment?

2. If the BREAK command isn’t suitable for this task, is there another AutoCAD command that allows me to divide a line based on a specified segment length?

How's about the Measure command?

What do you mean? I don't want to measure the distance between the divided lines, but i want to divide the line segment by the distance i want.

Enter at the command prompt:

MEASURE

select the LINE object

At the Length of Segment prompt: enter the measurement distance you desire for example: 4

Point objects are then inserted at a measured distance of 4 units on the selected LINE

To see these POINT objects enter at the command prompt:

PTYPE

Select one of the other point styles other than the dot and enter Point size like 15 then click OK

You now should see these POINTs on the LINE exactly 4 units apart starting from the LINE's start point.

FYI: The segment that's left at the end may not be 4 units

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum...
you can find your need by using this free utility DivBreak .

Measures companion Divide lets you specify the amount of points for a line to be evenly spaced.

For a start, check out the attached BreakUp.lsp.  It Breaks objects with linearity Up into separate pieces based on linetypes whose names are part of the command names defined.  Read the comments at the top -- it's "under construction," so there's discussion of limitations and possible capabilities to be included.

It does it with the remainder different-length pieces at the ends of equal different length, as linetypes show them.

The sizes of the dashes and gaps [and points in some cases] are based on the linetype and the linetype scale of the drawing, not on a User-specified length.  But it could pretty easily be modified to ask for that, both for the dash pieces and the gaps.
