multiple line lengths
multiple line lengths
(OP)
I need to add the lengths of lines with the other lines on the same layer. I must admit I don't know any way to do this. I have about 50,000 lines to add so manually is not an option. Can anyone help me on this? Is there possibly a way to export a table with all the property info for all elements in the drawing?
Thanks,
Eric

RE: multiple line lengths
First, let me ask a question or two.
Do you want to get a total length of all lines in a drawing?
Are you looking for the total length of all lines on a particular layer?
Are you trying to find a way to label the length of each line in the drawing?
OR, do you want to create a document (like a text file) that lists each line and its' length so that you can add them up individually?
I may be able to write a LISP program to do these depending on what you want. you can e-mail me at:
paul_bilodeau1@excite.com with the answers to these questions.

RE: multiple line lengths
50,000 lines is a lot of lines in a single layer.
With a lisp routine, finding the total length should
be a piece of cake (45-60 seconds max). E-mail me
(grevark@aol.com) your AutoCAD version and I'll send
you the appropriate routine (total length only).
