ARC LENGTHS NOT ADDING UP

I have an arc, then a line, then an arc then a line.  At the moment they are all one pline.

i click on it and it shows the length as 4.8224 in the props

 

  then i explode it. 

  • first arc shows 2.374 arc length,
  • next the line  .429 long,
  • next arc .768 arc length,
  • then the next line at .025 length. 

these values add up to 3.596.  not 4.8224

 

i assume that when reporting a pline LENGTH in the properties, acad takes that length which should be as we would travel ALONG  the path of the pline.  and would be the value if i wanted to flatten the pline in a straight line.🤔

 

i gotta be missin somtin.

Hi,

If you explode the polyline, You will get 7 segments NOT 4 !!! This is why you have a different values ( 4.8224 = Fake value). Make sure that you have the exact segments in your polyline. Any changes?

These little + marks when pl selected suppose to help you to find overlapping segments...
