I have a large group of lines that I want to get a total length of. Right now the only way that I know how to do this is to highlight them all and use the list command but then I have to go through the text box and write down each line length and then add them up. This is fine if I have only a few lines but when you get into the hundreds or thousands it becomes a monster task.
I tried copying the text box data into a Word document, removing all of the text except for the line lengths and then dumping that into Excel to calculate. This works ok for a hand full of lines but is not really practical.
I know that there are LSP routines that can do this in the full version of AutoCad but LSP is not supported in AutoCad LT.
Is there a way to automate this process in LT?
Or maybe extracting just the length data from a line to a text file where I can send it to Excel and use Excel to add up the lengths?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Wow, thanks for the link. Probably not the holy grail of AutoCad LT problems but it should be for my sake, lol. I guess it's time for me to learn how to start writing macros.
Thanks agan.
Hi ,
there is a option for the take hundreds or thousands lines
just download the BOMLengths.lsp from google
on coomand line type LSP and load the lisp(bomlengths) and close
next type on command line BOM enter All
then you can take the total length
if your not able to download sent me a mail to abhilashvava@gmail.com
i will forward to you
Have A Nice Day
