Labeling a Line with multiple segments as one segment?

I have a bunch of lines that are created with multiple segments.  I'd like to annotate the total length.  I can't figure out to do this without labelling each segment along the line using Line and Curve commands.  How do I get one annotation that only shows the total of all the sements? 

 

I'm sure this is an easy fix, I'm just not seeing it. 

 

Thanks.

Well, unless if you ever label curves. 🙂

 

Also, this method works well for getting alignments, property lines, and curbs labeled with tags to all be shown in the same Curve/Line tables. Instead of 1 table for alignment data and another for all others.

Moving on C3D, anyone now how to use a created text style for labels?  Or change the Oblique Angle? That's really all I need.

 

Thanks

Absolutly Jeff. That is a nice improvement. I'd bet something is in the works for curves.

The Label styles are assigned a Text Style on the General tab of the style editor dialog. The text style controls the font used and the obliquing angle, but the height is controlled by the height entered on the Layout tab for each Text component. The font and oblique settings may be overridden on the Format tab of the Text Component editor, just like MText objects can be altered from their base Text Style.
