Evenly spaced points

[Steve_Nyhof]

Does anyone have a way to create evenly spaced points between two points? But not using the Copy Multiple tool. I was even hoping a block would work and then I could stretch between the two points, but you cannot snap to the lines in the block or symbol. In AutoCAD I made up a number of Construction lines where I could very quickly get some evenly spaced lines and with a hotkey just as easily remove them. With the Copy Multiple tool it is not always easy to remove the lines from around the cabinets, lockers, etc that I use it for. It works fine, but thought there might be a more intuitive way to create temporary lines, spaces, snap points - ideas???

Here is one way using Point Markers because they have their own layer. You can use the Copy Multiple and then hide the markers layer.

Try using this method except instead of hiding the layer, switch back to the Point Marker tool and draw a marquee around all markers while holding the Shift key.  Then simply delete them.

Here's another method. for you too:

1. Draw an Arc from point A to Point B.  
2. Click Convert Curve to Polyline
3. Set Number of Sides to your desired number of points + 1
4. Snap to the end points of the newly created line segments
5. Delete polyline when you're done.

I'm very happy with this solution! Great job.

 

The one below I understand and its great for something on a curve!

 

Thank you!

Its actually useful for straight lines too.  If your arc has a super large radius it essentially becomes nothing more than a straight line for all intents and purposes.

Have you had a play with the Polyline Distribution Path tool?
