Line to Equal Segments

Line to Equal Segments

Line to Equal Segments

(OP)
Hello all,
  What I would like to do is have a construction line of "x" length and place sketch points, say 50 of them, on the line equal distance apart.  Is there a quick way to do this?

Thanks,
BB

RE: Line to Equal Segments

The Reference Geometry > Reference Point has an option to evenly distribute a ref point along a line.

What the intended purpose of this? If for future placement of a pattern of parts, there may be a better way.

RE: Line to Equal Segments

If you want the points all within a single sketch, look into sketch pattern.

Thanks to all, CBL hit the nail on the head.  That is what I was looking for.

Thanks,
