Divide Line Tool not working when done in groups

miles_carter_GS

Hi everyone.

I'm attempting to divide about 1,000 lines by specific numbers of equal parts. Some lines will be divided by 2 some will be divided into 15 parts.

I'm realizing that using the divide tool in the edit pane for multiple lines at a time is causing errors in the splitting. As an example, I divided a group of lines and for almost all of them I get 9/10 new divided segment lengths as 20 ft but the last one will be 5 ft. Has anyone encountered this and know a fix or know a better way to mass divide lines with different equal parts?

This issue was resolved by just going back to my saved backup, and saving my edits every time I divided the line. Thanks for your help Rob and Bob!

What coordinate system are you using? Geographic or Projected? If geographic, there was a BUG-000148600 - The 'Divide' tool does not work as expected when the map or data is in the geographic coordinate system." This was fixed at 3.1. And what release of ArcGIS Pro are you using?

You might do a select by attribute (or location) to get the 2-part lines first, and run the process described, then do another select to get the 15-part lines and do it again.
