I need to know how to divide an object like a box or a line in to equal segments. AutoCad has "Divide", where you pick how many equal segments and then the object and it puts points or grips at equal distance spots.
if it's a line: select the last node of the line with the shape tool, and press the + key on your numeric keypad. That will add a node in the middle. Press again and will add two more nodes, all at the same distance. When finished, aelect all nodes (double-click over the shape tool) and choose "break" on the propierties bar
other objects has not an automatic divide, but you can do it easily, for example if it's a square and you want to divide on 9 boxes, you can use the Graph tool (just press the D key) and drag over the square. Ifit'd circle and you want to divide on segments like a pie, ypu can use the shape tool with the Ctrl key (on tools/options/edit you can choose the ange for each step).For other objects you can use intersect, the knife tool or smart fill, for example
Thank you Ariel,
The thread may be a couple of years old but if you read this - it has helped me to put aside all the useless time consuming tricks I was doing to achieve what was right there.
