1/ Yes. That works. I'm grateful for you!

2/ A bit complicated; I think I'll use my calculator. Since you solved my issue above, I now have one less step converting to feet. I also have LT so it sounds like the solution from the threads would not work anyways. But for others, like the person measuring the pipeline, I wonder if my method of connecting all the segments into a single polyline and then just check the length in the properties window would work for them. Just a thought.

Thanks again!
