On which manner is possible to measure length of spline (in sketcher) or 3D spline (in Generative shape design). I mean what length of that spline would be if spline is straighten.
For example I have some part made by rib command, it is not made in Sheet metal design so I can’t make unfolded view in drafting and measure length of that part.
Thanks

Hi,

You can create a parameter called "Length" and
the you add a formula. Write length() and place the cursor between the parentheses and double-click on the spline.

My example... length(`Geometrical Set.1\Sketch.1` )
 
In the sketch, pick the curve and hit measure item, if you don't get the length of the spline hit custimize and set length i the edge group.
 
Thanks Azrael, it works too. Very simple and easy.
