In the Segments text box, type in the number of segments and points you wish to have the entity split into.

Click the Show button to view the segments and points in the Graph window.

The Delete button completely deletes the parametric entity and doesn't create any points or lines.  Be sure you want to delete the entity before pressing this button.
