So make the Inverse! :)

With any curve : UnvrapCurve https://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5136.1

And make now the Point Array along the line and Trim it!

You will obtain your straight Line divided! :)

There is a DashCurve Command.

Dash size and Gap size.

You can leave the Gap size at zero and have a segmented curve result......

Hi Tom, here is a method you can use on a line that is pretty quick.

Draw another line at the end point. Select the line and click on the "length" line in the properties panel which will open the Edit size menu.

In the Length field type in /10 (or /5 for 5 pieces, etc)

your line is now 1/10 of its previous length, if you want to have 10 pieces use Transform > Array dir and set Item count to 10.

This way you only have one helper line to clean up. The helper line is there so that it will keep that end anchored in place when changing the size, otherwise it will scale it around the midpoint instead.

Looks like this:

Using the Line tool, stretch a construction line over the line you want to divide. Use the Division snap option and enter your number of divisions (say 10). Go to division snap No1 and start your line. End it at the beginning of the original line. Delete the original line. This leaves you with a line one tenth the length of the original, which you can now Array.

I hope this makes sense. ;-)

THe PointsOnAdaptiveCurve command has an option you can select to "Convert to polyline"

A smart fellow could probably copy that command then remove the "create points" part and just end up with a divided polyline with one command.

Wow, I knew MoI could do lots of good stuff, but... ;-}

MoI can Upscale Hannibal Lecter on culinary choices….

And the guy DID offer his kidney to anyone with a solution and not a trimming workaround!
