AutoCAD 2010 :: Total Length Of Objects
Dec 5, 2013How Do I find the total length of several objects or separate lines without having to click on each one individually and add them up.

View 5 RepliesI have a large group of lines that I want to get a total length of. Right now the only way that I know how to do this is to highlight them all and use the list command but then I have to go through the text box and write down each line length and then add them up. This is fine if I have only a few lines but when you get into the hundreds or thousands it becomes a monster task.
I tried copying the text box data into a Word document, removing all of the text except for the line lengths and then dumping that into Excel to calculate. This works ok for a hand full of lines but is not really practical.
I know that there are LSP routines that can do this in the full version of AutoCad but LSP is not supported in AutoCad LT.
Is there a way to automate this process in LT?
Or maybe extracting just the length data from a line to a text file where I can send it to Excel and use Excel to add up the lengths?

I want to determine the total length of all the lines in a selection so that I can determine what is the most economical design to achieve my goal. Is this possible in ACAD?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use my parts list to generate a total length in inches of the same part that is used in several places in my assemblies. I then export it to excel, convert it to feet, etc. I've been doing this for some time now and it works great. The problem I am now having is I forgot how I got this magic to happen and I need to set another part to appear with it's total length in the list. From what I remember I set the QTY column in the parts list to show the length of the part and then I set the parts list to merge the same parts. For the life of me I can't remember how I did this. How this is done correctly?
All of the parts are created by the frame generator if this matters.

where I can obtain a freeware lisp routine that lists the lengths of all the polylines on a specific layer or within a selection set? I want to avoid list if possible as there are rather a lot of polylines!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use flat piano hinges on doors for many of the machines we build. I would like to be able to calculate the total length of multiple doors on a single machine. We buy these hinges so it needs to go on a buy out parts list.
So here is my problem:
To make it a useable hinge I build an assembly from two hinge halves.
This allows me to check for interference within the machine when the door gets opened.
I set the BOM structure of the assembly to purchased so it shows up on my buy out list.
Both halves of the hinge are set to normal.
There are hinges of different lengths on the same machine.
I can link a parameter of one of the halves to the assembly to show length of the hinge but I cannot set the BOM base qty on the assembly to that parameter so Inventor can add up the lengths.
When I group the items in a buyout parts list the result is "0." The individual assemblies show the correct length because I use the "length" parameter that is linked for the QTY in the parts list. But I cant "add" the lengths and have a total whe I group them.
I need to have mixed units in this list. Some things are bought as Each and these hinges are bought in length.
I need a lisp file that can read the total length of selected object (lignes, polylines) and summarize them by layers or by color in a table
e.g
command:tl (total length)
select objects
found total length.......
select object (Ent)
total length or [Add/Subtract/Table] :
total length = .......
if table
Enter an option by [ Layer/Color/line Type/line Weight] <layer> :
lisp to count dynamic block including total length.

The view on the left is a Merged FG member. The view in the middle is individual FG members based on a line of symmetry in the same sketch. Both are placed using the mid point option in the FG dialogue. The views on the right are the 3 separate members used for the middle view.
The Merged length shows 722 mm whereas adding the 3 member lengths (RH view) equals 740 mm. 18 mm short, or 2 sets of 9 mm (shown in the middle view) which represents the end cuts to the middle member in the RH view.

This is something that used to be very easy to do in autocad (with a polyline) and checking the length on the properties bar. When I select multiple lines (chain of lines) the "length" data is greyed out. I hate having to measure every segment separately!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have selected several lines (not pl or spl), just lines, all of which are the same layer and such. I want to be able to select all thirty or forty of the lines using either the select similar (lisp, AC2010) or quick select and return a total length of all of the selected lines. In the properties box it shows as varies.

These nasty lines appeared and as i zoomed in an unwanted face appeared.
I have tried solid edit and delete face but it says gap cannot be filled. There is another unwanted face i am assuming on the other side but the gap is so small my computer always freezes and slows down before i can get in that close to examine it.
I lost the ruler to adjust the width and length of mtext objects in the editor settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know how to align an object in model space with the edge of my viewport in paperspace.
When I draw, I like to lay out multiple complete drawings in model space, make an appropriately scaled bounding box around them, and then snap a view port to the bounding box in my layout. I usually have multiple drawings lined up in a row in modelspace, so when I want a new layout I do a Save As and then pan around in my viewport to find the next bounding box, at which point I have to resize the viewport to get it to snap to the edges nicely. I really want to be able to to it the otehr way around- while panning I'd like to be able to grab a corner of my modelspace bouding box and snap it to the the corresponding corner of my viewport window. That way making new layouts would be a snap. Is there a way to do this in AutoCAD 2012 LT?
If it is possible to set a fixed length to a "Hose" hanging from one point to another? So that when hang-off point's are adjusted (any direction) the hose act pursuant to the fixed length.

For example:
the 2568 will be rounded off to be 2570
the 2563 will be rounded off to be 2565
This option is available for the dimension objects and wondering why it not offered for the inserted fields.

Is there a way to show the last number of the dimension length as 5 or 0?I want to show the unit in mm with precision (decimal places) equal zero such that the and to force the last number as 5 or zero
For example, I need to display the 7554 mm as 7555 and the 7558mm as 7560.
I must have changed a setting and now I cannot figure out what I did.
On AutoCad at school, when drawing a line, there is a light blue dialogue box that would pop up above the cursor telling you the length of the line before you set it. (not the coordinates).
This is not showing up on the educational version of AutoCad I am running at home.
peace sign.cdr
Howdy gang, I am trying to create a peace sign in CDX6, but I cannot change the lengths of the two angled members, as they seem to be selected in some special mode. I am sure that this is a quick fix (and I have a CD Book coming today) and obvious.
Why my AutoCAD now draws rectangles based upon coordinates and not by a given width and length as use to be?
