measuring length of lines automatically

Hi All,

I wanna measure automatically the total length of lines,circles,etc. which are on the model. Is there a command or script for this??? Thanks

To be clear what I meant is the periphery of a circle,thanks....

have you had a look at these

(sorry broken link)

If none of these suit , just give us a shout..

periphery of a circle....circumference

here's a lisp that i did not create

TLEN.LSP - Total LENgth of selected objects

(defun C:TLEN (/ ss tl n ent itm obj l)
 (setq ss (ssget)
       tl 0
       n (1- (sslength ss)))
 (while (>= n 0)
   (setq ent (entget (setq itm (ssname ss n)))
         obj (cdr (assoc 0 ent))
         l (cond
             ((= obj "LINE")
               (distance (cdr (assoc 10 ent))(cdr (assoc 11 ent))))
             ((= obj "ARC")
               (* (cdr (assoc 40 ent))
                  (if (minusp (setq l (- (cdr (assoc 51 ent))
                                         (cdr (assoc 50 ent)))))
                    (+ pi pi l) l)))
             ((or (= obj "CIRCLE")(= obj "SPLINE")(= obj "POLYLINE")
                  (= obj "LWPOLYLINE")(= obj "ELLIPSE"))
               (command "_.area" "_o" itm)
               (getvar "perimeter"))
             (T 0))
         tl (+ tl l)
         n (1- n)))
 (alert (strcat "Total length of selected objects is " (rtos tl)))
 (princ)
)

PSPort- your link is broken...

Chris, TLEN is the answer I would have suggested to your first post, but your second post just asks about the circumference? Then you just need to highlight the circle and look in PROPERTIES.

Dear all this is my first post on the forum.

Little about me; I am good with excel and VBA, but very much new to Lisp. I have with me Tlen and LA lisp commands. Both are working very well.

Can any body help me to join both of these. By this I may be able to find the length of a closed body as well as the enclosed area at the same time. It should be written in the region itself.
