Does anyone know if there is a way to create a line or measurement markup that automatically segments a line into predetermined length segment?

For example…Drawing one line across a page with an indicator mark shown at every 10 foot segment.

    This is an interesting concept. I just dabbled into it for a few minutes, one solution is to create a Custum Line Style. it is NOT PERFECT and a perhaps a better solution can be out there.

    Basically I created a line style with a Dash, text and dash.

    1. Click on manage line styles.

    2. Create a new line style. With a Dash, Text, and Dash. (The Text I used was ')

    3. Change width of each dash to 21.6

    Important! Do not click on Scale with line thickness!

    Result:

    Note, it will also vary with the drawing scale. I created this on a drawing that was scaled 1/16" - 1'.

    Hope this helps!
