measure - length(Curve,Point,Point):Length in VB

measure - length(Curve,Point,Point):Length in VB

(OP)
Does anyone know if it is possible to program in vb to measure the geodesic distance (along a curve) between two points ?

At the moment I  use GetMeasurable.MinimumDistance which is a workaround.

Thanks for reading this and any tips would be greatly appreciated.

RE: measure - length(Curve,Point,Point):Length in VB

Only way I ever found was to create a split element using the two points as the trim locations, measure the curve, then delete the split.  Of course, determining the direction of the splits can be tricky.
