Divided Path Instance Properties

Adjust the parameters of the divided path.

You can modify instance properties for divided paths, such as layout, spacing, and measurement type. The specific parameters available depend on the selected layout method.
  1. Select the divided path.
  2. On the Properties palette, edit divided path instance parameters.
  3. Click OK.

The following table lists the reference point instance properties.

Name Description
Nodes
Layout Specifies how nodes are distributed along a divided path. Either None, Fixed Number, Fixed Distance, Minimum Distance, or Maximum Distance.
Number Specifies the number of nodes used to divide the path.
Distance Specifies the distance between nodes along a divided path.
Justification Specifies where the first node is placed when dividing a path. Either Beginning, Center, or End.
Minimum Distance Specifies a minimum distance range for paths divided by the Minimum Distance layout.
Maximum Distance Specifies a maximum distance range for paths divided by the Maximum Distance layout.
Measurement Type Specifies the length type with which the distance between nodes is measured. Either Chord Length (straight line between nodes), or Segment Length (along the path between nodes).
Total Number of Nodes Specifies the total number of nodes created from division and reference intersects. This is a read-only value.
Show Node Numbers Displays the number of each node when the path is selected.
Flip Direction Reverses the numerical direction of nodes along a divided path. For example, if the path ran left to right.
Beginning Indent Specifies the length of an indent at the beginning of a divided path. Indents are subject to the measurement type. Nodes created by distribution do not extend into indents.
End Indent Specifies the length of an indent at the end of a divided path. Indents are subject to the measurement type. Nodes created by distribution do not extend into indents.
