    3D polyline

    What length is shown in properties for a 3D polyline?

    A 3D polyline having two nodes at 0,0,0 and 10,0,0 has length of 10.

    If I move the second nodes to 10,0,1000 the length is still 10.

    Is that the projection in xy-plan?

    It shows the real length, so I guess you have an UCS trouble, sir.

    1] in an empty file, draw a cube with _BOX

    2] type in _UCS and double Enter

    3] set yourself to an isometric view, with _-VIEW then _NEISO

    4] draw a 3Dpoly snapping on two vertices of the cube

    5] check the properties, moving the grips

    Thanks!

    I was wondering if that was some system variable controlling this?

    At my other computer I can see the real length but not at my job!

    Here I see the projection at xy-plan!
