Hi Brian,

> Is this the sort of end result I should be looking for?

No, there it looks like you want to space one particular object (a point object) evenly along a curve. For that use the Transform / Array / Curve command instead - right now that is the easiest way of replicating one object along a curve to make multiple copies of it.

Div snap and construction lines in general are more intended to be used with drawing tools like Rectangle, polyline, etc..., where you just want to get one of the points of the shape that you are drawing snapped on to a particular precise spot right then.
