(OP)
Is it possible to have the measure tool add up the length of line segments?
I figured I could do it by holding control and clicking multiple lines, but nothing seems to add the lengths.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Matthew

I have 2 straight lines. I click the first one, then click add accumulative and click the second line. Then click display accumulative?
I just tried that way, and it doesn't seem to work :(

The work around is to start a new 3D sketch and Include Geoemtry any 2D sketch or part edges. Then use the Measure Loop tool (the loop doesn't have to be closed, only continuous).

Pick measure tool, select first line, click add to accumulate, then right mouse click and pick restart, then pick second line, then click add to accumulate, then (if your done) pick display accumulate.
Yes its a completely retarded way to do such a simple task.
I am putting in a wishlist item/request to have it changed to work as follows.
pick measure tool, then pick accumulate, then just start picking lines and watch it magically add them up without all the extra add to accumulate or restart button clicks.

click one line and it gives the value. Hold contrl and click another line segment and it adds the two lengths together.
yes, by 2050, we should have a somewhat decent package
