Subdivide a segment between two selected points
Hi Illustrator Dev,
how about adding an option to subdivide a segment between two points.
The menu button "add anchor points" subdivides all object, adding unnecessary points.
See my screenshot
Thanks

Fe, a great point.
The thing which needs to be specified though, is that Ai allows to select segments without actually selecting points at all, and this should work for this case as well, along with a selection of more than two points, like two edges of the square, instead of one on the screenshot.
So far we have several workarounds for this:
1. Cut and paste the selection, use Object > Path > Add Anchor Points only for this piece, select both the original and the cut portion and Join them back. If you isolate your shape first, it’d be easier to select both with a simple Select All command.
2. Use a third-party paid tool, PathScribe form Astute Graphics, which is already able to do this and more.
There are some other solutions, like free scripts, but these are al workarounds.
