In this video I will tell you about the divide and major tool of Autocad and using these tools you can
divide the object in equal number of parts or at a particular distances.
So here we have these two simple geometries the first one is a line and this one is and is blind.
Now let's assume that we want to divide this line at first in equal number of parts and divided into
six equal segments for that go to this draw panel expanded and select the divide to now select the object
which you want to divide in this case the line.
Now look at the command line which prompts you to specify a number of segments so we want to divide
it into six equal segments of type 6 and presenter.
And now the object has been divided into six different parts and they are all equal but we are not able
to see any change we still have a single line.
Actually the object is divided using the points and the points are not visible in this case so we need
to change that type of point in order to see them clearly.
And the point type can be changed using the B-type command to type B-type.
Press enter and not change to any other visible type of pointer.
Select this cross point type.
OK.
And here we have it.
So now you can see that 5 points are added to divide this complete segment into six parts so we have
the first second third fourth fifth and sixth segment here.
So it is divided into six different parts.
Similarly if you want to divide this this plane you can select the same command.
So I'll expand it.
Select the divide tool.
Now select the object and a number of segments let's add 9 press enter.
We have here nine equal segments so all the in line we can measure the complete length of line and then
we can manually calculate the distances after which we need to add the points.
But in case of is applying the same calculation will become very tedious.
And for these situations this command will become very helpful.
Now let's press control Z to get back to this origin of geometry.
So now what if instead of number of divisions we want to divide this object at equal Indos so far that
we can select the second option which is measure.
Select this tool and now click on the line.
Now the command line will prompt you to specify the length after which you want to add the division
points.
So let's assume that we want to add the points after every forby unit on this line.
So day 40 and press enter.
And now here we have it.
So the line is divided into as many part as possible by creating segments of 40 units.
And so the first segment is a 40 unit 40 40 44 but that last segment will be off the remaining length
and whatever that length might be.
Now in this case while selecting the line I have looked at a point which is close to this and that's
why the measurement started from this point.
Now if you want the measurement to start from this point so that the first segment over this site is
14 and the rest of the thing will fall in this direction.
And the last segment will be of any residual length.
Then you need to ensure that you're somewhere close to this point to make this clear.
It is all of these points.
And now once again as I like the major tool and now also look this object but this time while selecting
the object I'm looking close to this end point.
Now the measurement will start from here and distance.
As for the press enter and you can clearly see that the measurements started from this side and this
segment is off any residue.
And similarly you can use the same method for this plane.
I'll expand that to our panel select the measure to select this object and this time I'm selecting a
point which is close to this end point.
So obviously the measurement will start from here.
So click here and now enter the distance as 60 press enter.
And now the first distance is 60 60 60 but this segment will be of any remaining length.
So in this way you can divide Autocad objects in equal number of segments or with a specific distance
using the divide and major tools.
