Hi everyone

 

Anyone can help me to figure out how to measure a curve length in Autodesk DWG TrueView 2019?

If it is an ARC entity, just use the LIST command.

 

If it's an arc segment of a polyline, you can use the "measure>distance". Specify the first point, then choose the option "M" (for multiple points), then choose the option "A" (for arc), then choose the option "S" (for Second point), then pick a point on the arc, then pick the other end of the arc.

 

Another way would be to use "measure>Angle" to get the delta, then use "measure>radius" to get the radius. The arc length can be calculated like this: L = R * D (in radians). So my example arc has a radius of 10.255, and a delta of 130° (which is 2.269 in radians)

10.255 * 2.269 = arc length of 23.2685

Thank you very much. But it's not a regular arc with some radius. It's a curve with variable radii like a road. 

Thanks
