How do I measure multiple line segments and get a sum for all segments as the final result 1

[CADguy77]

Hello,

I need to be able to measure the sum of multiple line segments using the measure command and have the measure result that is provided equal the total curve length (all segments as if they were a single curve).

Currently I must measure each line segment separately in a chain of segments, record each segment length value and then add all of the segment lengths together at the end to get the total curve length. Very time consuming and repetitive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you create a temporary Join of your segments and measure that Join? At the end this Join can be deleted.

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for the reply!

I am cutting a section in a large CATProduct with many instances and the section result has multiple segments. Can a join be performed in a section?

I also tried exporting the CATProduct as a CATPart and then creating a sketch plane and performing an intersection but the result is still multiple segments.

In Drafting I tried cutting a section but again there are multiple line segments.

Will join command work in any of these situations?

Thanks!

Ken

In DMU workbench (unfortunately can't remember which license exactly you must have), you can export a section as CATPart (there are different options there). In that CATPart you can join your isolated curves, even if they are not connected and do a single measurement for everything.
