Chad, check out the autocad commands MEASURE and DIVIDE, and the related commands PDMODE and PDSIZE. Divide will divide a line (circle or arc) into any number of user specified segments, placing a point (PDMODE and PDSIZE) at each segment. MEASURE will place a point at whatever distance along a line (circle or arc) the user specifes, with no regard for "leftovers". i.e. - you tell it to measure along a line that is 10.5" by a distance of 1" - there will be a 0.5" piece "left over". Both commands are really handy if you want to put an object on another object a repetitive numver of times.
Jeff, this information will certainly speed up the whole process immensely! I knew there must be a better way but I just had not happened across it yet. As I'm sure you know, the ACAD folks don't always make this stuff readily apparent! Anyway, your input is very much appreciated and will be put to good use.
