Welcome to Autodesk Discussion Group!

Is it possible upload a simple image to illustrate what you need? There are many ways to notate lines/arcs length and summarize the total lengths. If you can show us in more details, it will be easier for people to understand your request.

Hi,

>> I want to show total length of filleted line

Look to fields, with them you can create a text from object properties, and one of the properties of polylines is "LENGTH".

If a textobject is not enough and you need something like a dimension then it might be more complicated, depending on the dimension help lines, if they need to be parallel to the polyline (parallel along all segments) then you have to draw it (or create a tool for that). If you just want to create a straight dimension you can also use the dimension text value to replace it by a field. Look to the sample I attached for that.

As there are currently problems with uploading DWG-files I have renamed it to .TXT, so when you download it please rename it bak to .DWG to open it in AutoCAD.
