Autocad 05 and up. Measuring

[megaone]

is there anyway, to get a measurement on a drawing that has two parrellel lines with a fillet between them. Currently, I am just using inguiry - measure for the lines, and then arc length for the fillets, then I have to add them all together. Is there a one shot measuring tool.

If they are connected end to end, you can convert them to a PLINE with the command PEDIT and then list it. Not a perfect solution but it works without programming.

Keep searching, I know there is a LISP routine available that allows you to select multiple objects and get their combined length.

If you can't find one, it wouldn't be difficult to make one. Post back if you would like some help creating a LISP to do this.
