Equidistant/BSpline

User question:
Is it possible to have an equivalent to the function "Equidistant" for the BSpline as we have for the Polyline (or a way of obtaining the same results)?

There is no tool to create an equidistant spline entity.
You can produce a similar effect by converting the spline into a polyline and using the polyline equidistant tool:
- Copy the original spline entity for future reference as it will be destroyed in the process.
Explode the spline:
- Select the spline
Choose "Modify - Explode"
The spline has been exploded into small line segments
Convert the loose segments into a polyline:
- Choose "Draw - Polyline - Create from Segments"
Click one of the exploded spline segments
The spline is now represented as a polyline
Use the equidistant polyline tool to create an equidistant polyline
Note that this is not an exact equivalent of an equidistant spline, but it might suffice for some purposes.
