Creating Lines with repeated measured segments

KyleHierholzer

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!
