Measuring polyline distance
Measuring polyline distance
(OP)
I am running CAD 2000 and want to measure the distance of a polyline. The distance command can only provides between two points. My polyline meanders through the drawing. Similar to wanting to find the distance of a sidewalk????





RE: Measuring polyline distance
also the properties window for the polyline shows the length
if you are adding up several discrete lines or polylines, either a custome macro or area should do it.

How can I get the coordinates of group of selected points drawn in AutoCAD and print them into TXT or XLS file?
Please, give me some indications.

RE: Measuring polyline distance
then select polyline, gives total length
experiment with options on command line.
hope this helps

Constant width 0'-0"

length 233'-8 7/32"
at point X=147'-4 93/128" Y=21'-8 33/64" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=147'-4 93/128" Y=75'-6 107/256" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=213'-1 69/256" Y=75'-6 107/256" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=213'-1 69/256" Y=133'-1 17/32" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=269'-7 119/128" Y=133'-1 17/32" Z= 0'-0"
This can't "not work" unless it is not really a continuous polyline.

Or, EXPLODE your polyline and then use the DISTANCE command.
If you explode your polyline and then want a list of each line segment's length and the total length, you will need a macro
