Equaldistant point on curve 1

[snowfire]

How to make points equally distributing on a curve.

And the number of points can be changed using a parameter.

Ex. I can change parameter No. from 5 to 10. and the points change accordingly.

????

I don't know how to do it. Anyone can share your idea?

Thanks in advance.

You can space a series of points along a curve by using the POINT AND PLANE REPETITION tool (use INSERT + WIREFRAME).

It creates a formula for each point, but you can't go back and change the number of points. You have to create a new series and then then replace the old ones with the new ones.

There are many posters here who are very clever and creative with Forumulas and Scripts. I'm sure one of them will suggest a better method than mine.

The only way to associate a quantity parameter would be to create a Knowledgeware Reaction that would execute a script, that would recreate the points.

If you have the PKT workbench you could use a reaction (as mentioned by catiajim) or you could also use a knowledge pattern. Knowledge pattern requires R16+, but reactions have been around for a while now.

The big advantage with the knowledge pattern over a reaction is that it will automatically add and remove the points for you when the quantity changes. You can also use the knowledgeware language to create the points, which is pretty straightforward.

If you use a reaction, you may need to use VB (it's been a while since I've looked at this and I cannot recall if you can create new entities in a reaction using Kware language).

If you don't have access to PKT then it isn't possible.

I'm loosing my mind. KWA not PKT
