Segmenting an existing line

Can I segment an existing line?
Tried adding points but those don't segment the line i.e. I'm not able to select separate segments after placing the points on the line.
I added a construction line and now want to add several equally spaced points on the line for the hole feature to have equally spaced holes.
If I draw a line in several segments to begin with then I can select all the segments and add an equals relation to make the segmenting points equally spaced.

What is the 'curve pattern of hole feature'? I would like to space holes along curve (in this case ellipse). In picture I have dimensioned in straight line, however is there a way to place the points (or holes) a distance along the curve?
there is a built in Curve pattern https://cad.onshape.com/help/#curvepattern.htm?Highlight=curve pattern
and a custom feature with some advanced capabilities

perfect! Thank you for those references. I have not paid attention to curve pattern and the FS does exactly what I need.
