sub-obj binder node addition

[JussyAD]

Hi
How can I add nodes to a sub-object shapebinder line? Say I have one line and now I want to divide it into 3 segments...??

Draw three connected edges over it, make them tangent( collinear) to that edge, make them equal.

You cannot edit the ShapeBinders, only their source objects. But you can add a sketch and reference an edge of the ShapeBinder. Create three collinear lines of equal length and make start and end coincident with the endpoints of the external reference.

You could use a SplitCurve from Curves workbench and set the values to [33.3%,66.7%]. Edit the body's Group property to also include the SplitCurve object. Then if desired you can make another SubShapeBinder with the SplitCurve.
