MEASURE
The MEASURE command is similar to the DIVIDE command (Figure 3-15) except that with MEASURE, you specify the distance. DIVIDE calculates the interval to divide an entity into a specified number of equal segments. The MEASURE command places point markers at a specified distance along an entity.
 
Figure 3-15 Examples of the DIVIDE and MEASURE commands
| MEASURE | |
|---|---|
| Ribbon/Panel | Home/Draw (slideout) 
 | 
| Menu Bar: | Draw/Point/Measure | 
| Type a Command: | MEASURE | 
The measurement and division of a circle start at the angle from the center that follows the current snap rotation. The measurement and division of a closed polyline start at the first vertex drawn. The MEASURE command also draws a specified block at each mark between the divided segments.
