specific number of equi-spaced nodes on a line or curve?

Sorry Acorn, being thick here, I still don't follow you.

Egg, if you have a locked object and you are using the shape tool, when you click anywhere, you start a line. So, in this case , click on the the left point of the locked line and then follow and click on the dashes ends. The end result is a line trace with equi-placed control points.

Sorry Acorn, it must be me, I became a Great Grandfather last Thursday and my brain must becoming addled. Not following you.

you are drawing a line with the shape tool egg, using the previously drawn dashed line [now locked] as a reference, in the same way as you would a grid - call it a 'guide line' if you like

it's still a manual operation but it's a solution...

[Egg Bramhill]

Ah, got it now!

Thank you HD

Here's an alternative method, only worth doing if you want accuracy.

Egg, I cannot see this working for a bezier curve with differing radii.

Super congrats, Egg! I suspect we don't have a lot of great-grand-Xarans in our community. Delighted to expand the potential population.
