Calculate perimeter

[REDHEADEDCHIMP]

Is it possible to calculate the perimeter of the inner and outter edge at the same time.

you might want to read the FAQ first

then, if you want your question answered, list what version of Inventor you are using and describe in detail what you are trying to accomplish. A screenshot of the part/assembly/drawing in question also helps.

I was mainly curious if anyone has an add-in to do it for you. It can be a pain if you have alot of holes.

As has been stated above.

Please list your version of Inventor. In the thread linked above I answered how to do this in 2008 using the Region Properties dialog.

I tried the add to accumulate command in the loop command but it will not let me select a hole. The outside works fine but the hole is like it isn't even there.

Does this help?

Hi! I am not sure if you are aware of Region Properties tool in Sketch. If
the edges of interest are coplanar, you can create a sketch and project all
the edges. Next, use Tools-> Region Properties. Select the loop you are
interested. It will calculate the perimeters for you.

Is this available from the API so I can get it automatically? (Only just got 2008 on my computer)
