ReMark Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What happens if you use the LIST command and pick a line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 The LIST command, among other things, will tell us the length of a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profcad Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There are many ways to measure the length of a line in AutoCAD. Here are several... 1. Dist Command 2. MeasureGeom command 3. Properties 4. List Command 5. With Dynamic Input active, select a line, hover over the endpoint grip and a temporary dimension will display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaj Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi Intrigued, what do you mean by a non-linear line? If the wires are a series on lines and arcs why not consolidate them into a polyline (polyjoin.lsp or similar). Then the properties of the polyline will yield the combined length.

fahadkhan Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi dear guys, Thanks for helping. Actually in my drawing there are wires with bends ,arcs and linear lines.I was estimating the lengths of wires in a building.I am using Aligned measurement command to measure lengths and add tolerance in it.And if i use other commands like LIST i find lengths but measurement can not be shown along with original wires in drawing.I need also to show measurements for every line along with it.So i just want to know if there is any command that if i select two ends it show aligned measurement?or may be total actual length?
