New tool request to place lines/entities at equal distances

[Clive]

I just want to get some feedback about this request first.

Would it be possible to have a tool similar to the 'points along a line' tool, where for example a 4mm line could be placed evenly a given number of times along another line of say 100mm in length?

Or maybe an additional option with the paste along entity tool - like place evenly?

If I understand this correctly, what you are missing in the Edit > Paste along Entity tool is an option to only paste N instances, instead of creating enough instances to 'fill' the whole entity, correct?

I thinks so yes, could you give me a quick example so that I can verify Yes or No please Andrew.

Hi Clive,

do you need something like this?

Hi Clive,do you need something like this?

Nearly , try pasting a line 3mm long horizontally along another horizontal line of 80mm long.

The result I'm looking for needs to be that the 3mm line is pasted along the 80mm line evenly and with even spaces in between!

Ok, understood and I don't see any easy solution (without a manual calculation) to complete this task within QCAD.
And yes, would be nice to have a tool for this ... I could use it too ...

May I ask you for what do you need this?

Thank you Andrew and Husky for your feedback on this, I have added a feature request here:
