craigproudfoot Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I have a drawing with multiple unconnected polylines. I use the LEN command to get the length of an individual polyline, but how do I get the combined length of all the polylines? There are too many to simply PEDIT and then join them. Any help would be appreciated as I have come up with nothing on the web. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Too bad you're using LT. From forum member Raggi_Thor comes this suggestion. You can make a macro in plain LT like this: PE;Y;J;ALL;;;LI;LAST;; or PEDIT;Yes;Join;ALL;;;LIST;LAST;; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigproudfoot Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 How do I run a macro in plain LT and what will this macro do? Thanks in advance to you both for taking time over this. ReMark - 33,262 posts - Astonishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) One last option but it is going to cost you. CAD Studio has a program called LT Extension. One of the features is this... Report length - reports lengths of all selected Lines and straight Polylines (no arcs or fit plines), grouped by layers (result can be copied over Clipboard to Excel, Word or back into AutoCAD). To learn more about this program click on this link... http://www.cadstudio.cz/en/apps/ltextension/ I'd create a button and assign the macro to it so it is always available. what does it do? That should be pretty self evident [PEDIT;Yes;Join;ALL;;;LIST;LAST;;] don't you think? 33,262 is not my post count. It is however my age in days.

craigproudfoot Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Polylines are not always adjacent, so that won't work - I am looking at the Cading and Coding solution. 33,262 Days Old - Astonishing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How do I run a VLX file in AutoCAD LT 2014? You can't. VLX is a compiled lisp/visual lisp file. LT doesn't do lisp. We've covered this already remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
