How to find the length of a long pipe ?
(OP)
Dear Folks;
In my autocad days I would use the pedit command to create a polyline using the centerline of a long pipe or a duct run and then list the properties of that polyline to find its total length.
Whats the best way to do this with SWX office pro 2007 without having to buy the routing package ?
So far the only method I can think of is to use equations for the dimensions in the sketches and add them all up in the equation editor.
But hey, I acknowledge I'm not always the sharpest tool in the shed. Any of you experts know a much better way ?
