Arraypath tool

Hi guys, I'm a recent convert from AutoCAD to NanoCAD and have been using it for a few weeks. Today I hit a bit of a roadblock! I'm trying to find NanoCAD's equivalent of the "arraypath" tool in AutoCAD. I have a poly line with multiple grips and angle changes which I need to create a bunch of perpendicular lines the entire way along, always at 90 degrees to the poly line and I wish to specify the spacing between the perpendicular lines. Can anybody help me achieve this?

If what I said doesn't make sense, I guess picture a train track going around a bunch of different corners... how would I draw in the cross members at specified spacing...

Thanks in advance,
Troy

Hello,
command Divide or Measure with block option and align ?
Divide : this command align a block, perpendicular with a number of segment ask.
Measure : align a block at the length of segment ask

The block can be a single line. Explode the block, after.

Best regards
Patrick
