Divide a line into equal sections

[Marcus_Wakefield]

This is my first thought:

1. Draw a ‘cutting’ line and place it at one end of the line you want divided.

2. Select your cutting line first then select the line you want divided using either shift-click or ctrl-click so that you have both lines selected (the selection order is important!).

3. Use the ‘Copy Along Path’ tool to copy your cutting line as many times as you need.
   

   

4. Then use the ‘node edit’ tool to place nodes at the intersections of you main line and your cutting lines.
   

   

5. Lastly, delete your cutting lines.
   

Hope this helps.
