Drawing a measurment axis

[Richman67]

Hi all,

I am working on a project where I need to draw a measurement axis (basically drawing a ruler) along an arc, with short marks in 1 mm increments and long marks and numbered every 10 mm.

Is there a function in Autocad (2007) that performs this easily? I've looked high and low, and can't seem to find one.

Any ideas are appricated!

Best,
Richman

You can use the "measure" command to put points along a curve and define the points to be look like lines. Then you can measure the arc again using a block, then renumber the blocks' attribute.

You might want to use the array command
for all of the 1mm increments and then
a second array for the longer line at
the 10mm increments.
