    I know there was lisp out there that could do the following: I'm trying to place a block along a polyline (arcs included) every 5ft. I tried using the divide command but you got to know the quantity & total length of the polyline and divide the total lenght by 5 to get your quantity. Any suggestion?...

    The DIVIDE command does what it's name says.

    So does the MEASURE command :)

    No wonder I crashed when I tried to post.

    As everyone mentioned MEASURE, then place block on nodes. If you can't see
    the nodes switch the type of node you're using.

    Do these answers help? The plain old AutoCAD measure command has a Block option that lets you put a block along a pline at any interval. I wrote a LISP that does that and then explodes and edits all the blocks to make civil station ticks on a pline. I call it STACL.
