LDIV
LDIV, NL1, RATIO, PDIV, NDIV, KEEP
Divides a single line into two or more lines.
NL1Number of the line to be divided. If negative, assume
P1(see below) is the second keypoint of the line instead of the first forRATIO. If ALL, divide all selected lines (LSEL). IfNL1= P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted forNL1.RATIORatio of line length
P1-PDIVto line lengthP1-P2. Must be between 0.0 and 1.0. Input ignored ifNDIV> 2.PDIVNumber to be assigned to keypoint generated at division location (defaults to lowest available keypoint number (NUMSTR)). Input ignored if
NL1= ALL orNDIV> 2. IfPDIValready exists and lies on lineNL1, divide line atPDIV(RATIOmust also be 0.0). IfPDIValready exists and does not lie on lineNL1,PDIVis projected and moved to the nearest point on lineNL1(if possible).PDIVcannot be attached to another line, area, or volume.NDIVThe number of new lines to be generated from old line (defaults to 2).
KEEPSpecifies whether to keep the input entities:
0
—
Modify old line to use new keypoints and slopes.
1
—
Do not modify old line. New lines will overlay old line and have unique keypoints.
Notes
Divides a single line NL1 (defined from keypoint P1 to keypoint P2)
into two or more lines. Line NL1 becomes the new
line beginning with keypoint P1 and
new lines are generated ending at keypoint P2.
If the line is attached to an area, the area will also be updated. Line
divisions are set to zero (use LESIZE, etc. to modify).
