How to find length of multiple lines? (boxes)

I am currently running AutoCad LT 2021 and I am having trouble calculating the perimeter for multiple boxes. I was reading that this was a feature in AutoCad, but not in AutoCad LT.

I basically have a ton of boxes that represent doors and drawer fronts and I was hoping to be able to select all of them and find the total length. I can go one-by-one and use the LIST command, but unfortunately it only lets me select one at a time and not multiple boxes.

Is there an easier way to do this? I rarely use AutoCad but I have been tasked to calculate these items.

I could also attach my file if that helps. Thank you in advance!

Have you tried this (replies no. 14 and 15)?:

BTW, there's a dedicated AutoCAD LT forum here:

Really? I don't have LT, but Help for that command in LT says it "Displays property data for selected objects." [Emphasis mine.] And in regular AutoCAD it certainly accepts selection of multiple objects in one command.
