I have to generate points on arc at 0.01 distance from start to end. Watching for lisp which will easily understand and  create these points.

why MEASURE command does not suit?

MEASURE will do that except  it won't put one at the start point.  If you need that, and it's too much trouble to put one there yourself and have MEASURE do the rest, you can use the MEA+ command in DivideMeasurePlus.lsp, available >here<, which offers the option of whether or not to put one at the start, too.  But it has many other enhancements over regular MEASURE, and answering all the other prompts related to them could take longer than just a POINT command and a MEASURE command.

 

You could also draw a Point at the start, and use ARRAY with the Path option, or the ARRAYPATH command.

 

But none of those approaches will put one at the end  of the path, unless it happens to fall exactly at a multiple of the spacing from the beginning [not likely with an Arc].  If you need one there, you will have to put it there yourself.  Or if it's more important to have one there with Points spaced equally from start to end, and with the spacing a little under the "nominal" distance to make that happen, use the DIV+ command in DivideMeasurePlus, which has a Maximum-spacing option, and offers the choice whether or not to put them at both ends [which regular DIVIDE won't do].
