adding points via scripting might be too difficult, at least for me, I would approach it differently. Manually is not difficult at all, but as you said, doing many of them could be time consuming. manually, based on you sample art 1. draw a 4"x4" square and move it in place 2. while still selected, go to Object, Path, Divide Objects Below 3. that's it...delete objects to the right and left of your target. now, the interesting part, I assume you know where to cut (3" to the right in your example) you could script the following: 1. get the position of the target object 2. draw you cutting square 3. position it if you do VB, make an action to Divide Objects Below 4. play the action 5. delete objects P.S. just out of curiosity, how do you do it right now manually?.
