how can I divide several objects at once in autocad? 1

[daddycat]

Let's say I have 300 polylines of different length in a drawing. I want to divide them each into 5 equal parts. Currently, I use the "divide" command, but it only lets you pick one at a time. Therefore, I have to do it 300 times. Any help, or tips, or a lisp?

The best I can do is save you one click on Enter. Type MULTIPLE, then DIVIDE. It's still a pain, but at least then you can just keep you hand over the 5 and Enter on the number pad, and go. There should be a way to do what you are trying, though.
