Just to clarify, I do not need the polyline in segments, I just needed the points. The Segment Line command looked like the way to go.

I tried the Create from Entity and it only created points for the individual segments then clicking the next segment duplicated the point where the two segments touch.

I was looking for something similar to ACADs Draw,Point,Divide or Measure.

Suggest you create points along the polyline first before segmenting.

Modify> (Point Group) Create from Entity. This will create points for polylines (converting multi-segmented polylines into strings.)

Hi Barkley,

Yes is was a Polyline I was segmenting, only the Tool is called Segment Line. Have a look at the screen recording to see the full thing I was wanting to do.

For context I wanted to divide the polyline up into equal segments as it is the centerline of concrete path and I wanted to sawcut joints so they are equal lengths.

There is much that I like about the Segment Tool, but having to insert points that it has already shown me is a pain.

Hi James,

I'm not understanding exactly what you are referring to. A line has a start and end point at all times. It is a required property of a line. Are you referring to segmenting a polyline possibly?

Also using the segment line option, a common point for the end of line and start of another line is used and creates two links to the point.
