Create a model using the profile you showed in your attachment. If you just extrude it, see below and you will get your perimeter without needing a polyline.

sketch(part) is not sketch in .idw? ok another day maybe
still the matter of the pline in .idw should be adressed

No.
Inventor don't use or need Polyline. All profiles behave like "polyline".
If you need polyline, use AutoCAD.
Measure tool in Inventor will get the info you need:

this is what i get both in idw or in par if im not having a closed loop

You said you wanted the polyline to give you the perimeter. If you are just looking to sketch in the idw then yes, @Frederick_Law is correct get Autocad. What I showed you is in the model. That is where what you are looking for what you want in the perimeter.

As you have found, Inventor does not use polylines. Would a spline get you close-enough?
The region properties command needs one or more closed loops.
The properties command only addresses line types, line weights, and colors.
What happens if you use an Inventor dwg and open it up in AutoCAD?

Then create your inventor drawing, maybe tie the perimeter into a property and link into the drawing. Then export to an Autocad .dwg.

hi folks!!
Is there any way to do this measurement of a chain easier?? Without exporting to AutoCAD or making something so crasy using parameters like above? I lost myself by clicking in those lines and i forget where I started...

But this profile is open, i cant measure with region properties like you said. Even if I close the sketch with a construction line i still cant measure that lenght

Hi! The length of connected line segments can be measured. You don't need to add them up. Go to Measure tool -> mouse-hover a line -> right-click -> Loop. The tool will show the total length of the loop.
Many thanks!
