Evenly dividing a Spline in Solidworks

Evenly dividing a Spline in Solidworks

Evenly dividing a Spline in Solidworks

(OP)
In Autocad you could take a given PolyLine and divide it
into 100 equal segments by using the divide Polyline.

I can't find any comparable command for Solidworks that would allow me to divide a given Solidworks Spline.

Is there a way to do this??

RE: Evenly dividing a Spline in Solidworks

Pick spline > Insert > Reference Geometry > Point.  Pick the "Evenly Distribute" option on the bottom.

Yes and no!

No, you cannot simply divide a sketched spline into equal parts.

Yes, you can use a spline as a path to pattern a feature using the Curve Driven Pattern function.

Actually my post above does work, but I forgot to mention that  you have to exit the spline sketch to divide it evenly.
