Ever wanted to know how long an entity is or how long a group of entities are? If so, then Entity Length (Tip #2127) by Julio Monge is just for you. When loaded into AutoCAD, the LISP code supplied in this tip creates a new command named GRLEN. Type GRLEN at the Command line and then select lines, polylines, splines and circles. When you are finished with the selection, a dialog box appears containing the total length of the objects selected. Great job, Julio -- an elegant solution that demonstrates the power of the object system. |
