Total the Length of Multiple Lines

I have a large group of lines that I want to get a total length of. The lines cannot be connected to form a polyline. Right now the only way that I know how to do this is to highlight them all and use the list command but then I have to go through the text box and write down each line length and then add them up. This is fine if I have only a few lines but when you get into the hundreds or thousands it becomes a monster task.

I tried copying the text box data into a Word document, removing all of the text except for the line lengths and then dumping that into Excel to calculate. This works ok for a hand full of lines but is not really practical, especially when you get a large number of objects. You are also limited to the amount of text displayed in the text box.

I know that there are LSP routines that can do this in the full version of AutoCad but LSP is not supported in AutoCad LT.

Is there a way to automate this process in LT? Can it be written into a macro?

Or maybe extracting just the length data from a line to a text file where I can send it to Excel and use Excel to add up the lengths?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Try the DATAEXTRACTION command to export it to an excel file. Under the GEOMERY type is the length property.
