total length of object types in a drawing

[ammobake]

I came across this lisp and it has come in extremely handy for doing estimating in CAD over the last couple days.

after installing the LISP you can type "BOM" in the command line to run it.

 

There's a dialog on what objects you want to sum the length of from the current selection set (polyline, spline, etc.)

 

In my case doing estimating for an enormous paint job it easily provides me with what I need.

 

thought I would share.

I think it's from a few years ago.

I had a quick look at it probably needs a second level approach ie get plines but sort on layer name etc.sort on color etc having to run it 3 times for 3 layers maybe also export this session to csv for excel. Otherwise very smart.

I don't have this but would do something like.

Length objects pick choose ARC LINE Pline spline ellipse combo supported.

Objects break down by Layer or color or Layer&Color or just total also individual,

Area PLINE Hatch Circle by Layer or color or Layer&Color
