Is there a way to get the overall dimensions of an object in AutoCAD (2018)?
I have some DXF/DWG files that I imported into illustrator, but the dimension seem off by about 5mm. I don't know how to use anymore (last used more than 15 years ago) and I can see two tools, measure and dimension tool, but neither of these are allowing me to create an overall width and height of the object, its only snapping to nodes.
Is there a way to see this information similar to how Corel Draw displays it?

Will the Distance (DIST) command work?

Hi,
use command: DIST
Pick 2 points and you get:
Distance
DeltaX, DeltaY, DeltaZ

Will this help?
(defun C:BB (/ minpt maxpt); Bounding Box of selected object
(vla-getboundingbox (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))) 'minpt 'maxpt)
(setq
box (list (vlax-safearray->list minpt) (vlax-safearray->list maxpt))
delta (mapcar '- (cadr box) (car box))
); setq
(prompt
(strcat
"\nBounding Box [in 'box' variable]: " (vl-princ-to-string box) ";"
"\nExtents: X direction " (rtos (car delta))
"; Y direction " (rtos (cadr delta))
"; Z direction " (rtos (caddr delta)) "."
); strcat
); prompt
(prin1)
)
[I don't know how Corel Draw shows the information.] It could be made to draw Dimensions if that's what you're after. I also have a command that will draw the bounding box as a rectangle, and that can do it on multiple objects.
