Measure the Length of 3D Sketch Helix / Spiral

All,

 

Good morning!  I think I've got a relatively simple question, but I've got a mind block and cannot seem to get it worked out.  I'm trying to determine the length of the helical spiral in the attached part's 3DSketch2.  I can figure out how to select the helicalcurve object that I want, but I cannot seem to extract the length from it.  If I use the Measure command in the part model, I can obtain the length, but ideally I'd like to assign this to a parameter, so that if the characteristics of the spiral change, the parameter will automatically update.  Hopefully this makes sense, but please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks in advance for any assistance, hope all is well and have a most blessed day!

 

Peace,

Pete
