    3. Supplemental
    ▪ You can specify the start and end points by inputting X and Y coordinates in [Start Point] and [End Point] boxes on Command Window.
    When specifying the divided number
    1. Input a divided number between 2 points in [Divided Number] box on Command Window.
      The length between 2 points will be equally divided into the number specified, and points will be created in individual dividing points.
    When specifying the dividing length
    1. Input a dividing length between 2 points in [Dividing Length] box on Command Window.
      The length between 2 points will be divided in a specified length, and points will be created in individual dividing points.

      Shapes will be equally divided into the number specified, and points will be created in individual dividing points.
    When specifying the dividing length
    1. Input a dividing length in [Dividing Length] box on Command Window.
      Shapes will be divided in a specified length, and points will be created in individual dividing points.
      If a shape selected in Step 2 is other than a circle and ellipse, the end point nearer to the clicked position in the shape will be a start point of dividing.
    When specifying the dividing angle (when dividing a circle, arc, ellipse or elliptical arc)
