TLEN.LSP

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to extract the total length or area of a number of different
lines, polylines, arcs, etc. on each layer.

Something like a distance-command - just that it measures the total length
or area
of a collection of lines or shapes?
for example to know the total lineal meters of wood base on a house, or the
total floor´s area. I all ready use the TLEN.LSP, but I want to select a
group of layers and have the total length or area of each layer, and if its
posible to make a copy paste to excel or better, have a link so when I
change the lines of a drawing the excel sheet change automaticly

Simple answer, Yes.

It's a matter of how you put it together and how you want it to function.
Either you can start from scratch or start looking at some of the customer
files and websites that have free routines and somewhere along the line I
imagine you could paste together a routine to suite your needs.

It's all in how you filter your selection set.
(ssget "x" '((0 . "POLYLINE,LWPOLYLINE")(8 . "MYLAYER,YOURLAYER")))
for example, will find all Polylines and LWPolylines on layers MYLAYER and
YOURLAYER).

Or, you could prompt the user for the layer name(s) and use the construct
(setq LayName (getstring "\nLayer Name: ")
ss (ssget "x" (list '(0 . "POLYLINE,LWPOLYLINE")(cons 8 LayName)))
)
