: Breaking a path into equal segments of a fixed length I have an arbitrarily curved path, and want to break it up into segments of fixed length. i.e. I have a squiggle, and want to turn that

@Carla748

Here's an alternative to add any number of equally spaced vertices to a path, which i prefer to the 'add anchor point' command

You should try CADtools from HotDoor, it's a plugin for Illustrator.

For making equal segment on curve: Use Path Divider.

The Object → Path → Add Anchor Points function adds an anchor point in the middle of other anchor points, but you don't have control over the length of segments.

If you know the length of the original path, you could work out how long the segments are. I'm not sure if that helps you in your specific situation though.

Illustrator doesn't contain any CAD related features. You would need to manually measure the sections you want to cut.
