Length of Segment Places point objects at the specified interval along the

selected object, starting at the endpoint closest to the point you used to select

the object.

Measurement of closed polylines starts at their initial vertex (the first one

drawn).

Measurement of circles starts at the angle from the center set as the current

snap rotation angle. If the snap rotation angle is 0, then the measurement of

the circle starts to the right of center, on its circumference.

The illustration shows how MEASURE marks 0.5-unit distances along a

polyline, with the

PDMODE (page 1388) system variable set to 35.

Block Places blocks at a specified interval along the selected object.

Align Block With Object

 Yes. The block is rotated about its insertion point so that its horizontal

lines are aligned with, and drawn tangent to, the object being measured.

 No. The block is always inserted with a 0 rotation angle.

After you specify the segment length, the block is inserted at the specified

interval. If the block has variable attributes, these attributes are not included.
