Last updated: 2021-06-29

Overview

This tool will give a sum total length of all selected AutoCAD objects (lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, polygons, rectangles, and/or splines).

Warning: This macro will not return a length for Civil 3D objects such as alignments, profiles, or feature lines.

Usage

WisDOT Design tab > Analyze panel > Inquiry dropdown > Total Length of Objects

The Total Length of Objects macro can also be accessed from the command line: TLEN.

1. Select AutoCAD objects in modelspace > Enter

2. The sum total length of the selected objects is displayed in an AutoCAD Message box.

   

   Warning: This macro will only return a length on objects in which all points that define the object have the same elevation (z-value). Different objects in the overall selection may have different elevations, but each object must have a constant Z value .
