prime333 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hello there I'm wondering if I can get some help with a question I have. How would I total the distance of multiple separate distances? For example using the measure command I can get the distance of a line. Furthermore I could use the distance command to get the distance of another line. So, how would I go about using Autocad so that I can get the TOTAL of multiple separate lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinprakoso Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If the lines has similar properties (like on the same layer), I would use DATAEXTRACTION and export the length to Excel. Then I would sum total length there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The easiest way would be to use a custom lisp program.

prime333 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hey guys I'm back. The lsp program uploads into autocad, but I'm still getting single distances I'm not getting the total of multiple distances like I was hoping for. I'm wondering if someone can try the lsp program on their autocad and if they can get the total of multiple distances. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophoible Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If this doesn't help you, you may have to do more explaining. The program doesn't need you to input distances, just select the objects. The program will determine and add the lengths automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
