Adding lengths of individual polylines

stephenappel — Fri, 09 Jun 2023 13:45:57 GMT

Part of what I use AutoCAD for is doing take-offs for millwork items. When I do a take-off for base molding, I draw polylines over the applicable walls on a PDF drawing that I have imported. These are large areas - typically 30,000 SF of office space. After I finish, I manually total up all of the individual polylines which is time consuming. Is there any way to select them all and generate one total of all of the individual polyline segments?

Thank you!!

Thanks - I never downloaded a Lisp but maybe it's time I do!
