how do you divide a string to get (e.g. 5) X equal parts?
Hello, I think the easiest way is to make a shorter string and do a repeat.
Hello
if you make a sketch with straight lines to know the number of links; You insert the 1st one and repeat it with the number that suits you and then you do the same with your set of links to close your chain. You will thus have an equal repetition of part of the chain.
Thank you for trying to help me, I must have posed the problem wrongly:
I have to drill 10 holes along an edge at equal distances! I'm trying to attach 1 scan of my plan

Hello
In this case, you have to use the curve-driven repetition:

You can try to create a dimension of the length of the curve, to create an equation of the length of the repetition, by double-clicking on the repetition dimension (once the repetition is created) and then writing = to activate the equation, and type the name of the variable or the dimension of the length of the curve /5.
