Dimension extraction, basics

Dimension extraction, basics

Dimension extraction, basics

(OP)
hello again

firstly, thank god for this forum. Without it, beginners like me are without hope.

Question:

At the moment, Im wanting to read sketch segment lengths. The drawings im working with are not dimensioned. Currently, im using macros to ADD a dimension to a segment, just so i can read its value and transport to Excel.

Is there any way i can use the "measure" tool in some way?
i.e. Do i have to have a dimension to read a segments length?

Thanks again
