Measure along element???

[engcbc]

I have a meandering polyline. I want to measure the distance, along the polyline, from an endpoint to somewhere in the middle of the line....So far I've only been able to get the straight line distance between the 2 pickpoints. Does autocad v2002 have a command for measuring along an element? Thanks

The "measure" command will divide a polyline into equal length segments of the length you choose.

No built in command to do that. You could write a macro to break polyline at selected point, run 'area' command, pause for you to select segment to get length, then undo once or twice to undo the break. Also a lisp routine could be written containing just a few lines to use the "vlax-get-dist-at-point" function.
