Measure Item - Total sum 4

[CAD2015]

Hi,

Is it possible to get automatically the total result of the dimension shown in the picture below?

Thanks!

Join all the curves together, and then measure the length of the join

Thanks Jack.

I was hoping to find a simpler way (without affecting the structure of the geometry)............

Hi,

A macro as usual . If you can upload a sample, maybe someone can thing about this .

Keep the measures. Link them to length parameters. Use another parameter with a function to add the others.

Ferdo,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have attached a sample Catia file.
As you said, " ......maybe someone can thing about this"!
I'd love to get (ant to learn to create) a macro for this total sum!
Could someone help me in this matter, please?

Drewmumaw,

Your suggestion is very interesting.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the way you'd done this.
Can you apply your proposal on my attached CATPart, please?

Well, you know, there are different ways to solve this problem.

1. For your part (which by the way is not a bundle), you can select and keep measure and get those measurement and make a sum with a macro for all of them
2. You can select one by one the element in 3D and make a sum by adding one by one
3. You can extract in an excel file the specific named parameter (which in your case is length in Measurements) and do the sum there.
4. You can extract element in a specific geo set and do a join and measure the join but is not the case for your part, you don't have continuity for your edges, but it would be the case for the bundle if I remember correctly.

These are just few cases how the problem can be solved. I think is enough to show everyone how good it is to give as more details as you can to someone who is programming a macro .

Thank you Fernando! (The CATPart I created was designed for the measurement reason only; I haven't included any bundle, for the reason of simplicity).

Drew's solution is fastest, by the way, no macro , (I have a problem , I have to stop thinking first at a macro ).

if you have KWE/KWA you could create a query (i.e. all curve pink color from one geom set...) to build a list,then measure all curve in the list. The good stuff with something like this is that you can delete one curve or add a new one and the measure will update. You can have several measure for blue curves, pink curves....

For more info, search this forum or COE forum, we already talked about that.

Easier than that:

Creat a lenght parameter, and then add a formula to that parameter.

length(PartBody\Sketch.1,PartBody\Sketch.2 ,PartBody\Sketch.3 ) . You can pick the curves that defines the lenght that you want, but assure that they are spaced by a ",".

it updates every time you make changes to the curves.
