Ho can I devide a line in equal segments (in Microstation) in one command?
In example in AutoCAD this can be done by the divide command.
Thanks in advance,
Jacques.
in curve utilities we have the facet curve tool.

Follow that with the Drop tool and the Linestring/shapes checkbox toggled on and you will have broken the element into multiple pieces.
And AutoCAD's divide tool does not break it into pieces - it only marks points, just like MicroStation.

If you select Facet to: Lines in the toolbox, it automatically drops the line into segments. :)
Haven't used Facet to Curve a lot of times - so I am not as familiar with it as other commands.
Has that always been an option?
I have used it to simplify b-splines when some command does not work well with b-splines. Usually to arcs or linestrings, but this is a very interesting workflow and solution.
I'm not sure how long it's been like that. For that matter, my own experience with Microstation only goes back like 4-5 years. Plus, as one might suspect, the tool probably just isn't used all that often anyway.
