Chapter 23 Trimming Entities
This command also allows you to divide the first entity you select and leave
the second unchanged by pressing CTRL while selecting the first entity.
NOTE The Divide command will not effect polygons with holes (produced
using the Union, Intersection, or Difference commands).
To divide one or both of two intersecting entities
1 On the Edit menu, click Trim, Divide, or click the Divide button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
2 Click the first entity you want to divide. If you only want to divide the first
entity, press CTRL while clicking on the entity.
3 Click the second entity you want to divide. AutoSketch divides the
entities at the intersection.
Dividing an Entity into Equal Segments
On the Edit menu, click Trim, Subdivide to divide a line, polyline segment,
polygon segment, arc, or circle into a specified number of equal lengths. You
can use it to create up to 64 equal-length entities from a single entity.
■
Subdividing an arc or circle results in the specified number of separate
arcs, each having equal lengths.
■
When subdividing a line, AutoSketch converts it to a polyline with the
specified number of segments, each having equal lengths.
■
Subdividing a polyline segment or polygon segment results in dividing
the selected segment into the specified number of multiple segments,
each having equal lengths.
