Total length of Polylines

[anna_pa]

How can I get the length of a Polyline from my drawing?
I want to get the length of the Polyline in km, because the polylines represents streets. 

Best regards

[parkr4st]

select a PLine, the length will be in the properties ( Ctrl1)

dataextraction will gather the data from all the selected elements of the drawing and put the output into a table

as for the km,  the dwg units are km?

Hello

Since a long time, I am using this beautiful French routine from Patrick ...

TLENGTH is able to give you the Length off ALL AutoCAD Objects: Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, SPline, 2D/3D PLine, MLine, MPolygon, Region, etc ...

You can easily modify the routine to filter objects: select only LWPolyline for example

To load the routine: APPLOAD <Enter>

To run the routine: TLENGTH <Enter>

Happy WE, Regards, Patrice

Hello Anna

1) So with TLENGTH Lisp routine (see my 1st message), you get the Total Length of objects in "current" units (mm ou cm ou m or km or etc)

2) I add the other versions: TLENGTH_100 and TLENGTH_1000

3) TLENGTH_100 divides the result by 100 so for example: cm to m

3) TLENGTH_1000 divides the result by 1000 so for example: m to km

4) I hope these 3 Lisp routines (from Patrick) wil help you !?

5) You can load (with APPLOAD) the 3 versions and after you will have 3 new commands: TLENGTH , TLENGTH_100 , TLENGTH_1000

6) PLEASE remind that these Routines are Lisp/VLisp routines, so they can ONLY interact with real DWG objects !

AND NOT with MAP FDO Objects coming from: SHP, SQLite, SDF, Oracle, PostGIS, ArcGIS, ArcSDE, etc ...

7) I will appreciate 2 real simple DotNet routines doing the SAME thing (Total Length / Total Area) with FDO Objects : ONLY the Total Length / Total Area (if applicable) of all FDO selected objects ... Nothing more ... Because MORE means MONEY !!

Regards, Patrice

Kudos for Alexander.Rivilis 🙂

Now only I myself noticed - GeomProps recalculate with the necessary coefficients:

I always need free programs the Alexander.Rivilis - ExplodeProxy, selsim.

Can you advance lisp ( automatic copy total length )?

Thanks you very much.

hi @braudpat 

Can you update lisp ( automatic copy sum length )?

 🙂

Hello

What do you mean exactly by : automatic copy sum length ??

hi @braudpat 

What do you mean exactly by : automatic copy sum length ??

==> Yes. Eg.I want copy sum length to excel (not Ctr+C)

I wish you do detail lisp for me. Because I don't understand lisp. 😞

It would be great if there is a small information in English about the tools. The homepage and the current info is not that helpful for many users with limited knowledge in different langauges ...

[АлексЮстасу]

Alexander.Rivilis is present in the forums - https ://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/481027. You can write him a Private Message.

What exactly would you like to clarify?

[АлексЮстасу]

The author, Alexander.Rivilis, answered me:
The language of the program interface depends on the AutoCAD localization.
Many other Alexander.Rivilis contacts are in the program archive in Readme.txt.

Info:

Alexander just added an English readme to the ZIp package

Thanks a lot!

@Anonymous

thanks, a helpful tool.

For "GeomPropsGetPerimiter" I suggest to consider:

- it should be Perimeter, not Perimiter

- maybe you could replace it with GeomPropsGetLength to be consistent with the display in the properties and to be consistent with the meaning - a line does not have a perimeter, it has a length

Have a fine time!

@Peter2_1 

I agree that it is my grammatical errors. But this program have been using for 15 years and I would not want to change the names of commands and functions that are used.
