Line/Spline/Poly Line object that displays it's length

I think there is a line tool something like that. Does anyone know where to get it ? Can't find mine anymore.

"Window > Palettes > Element Information" menu will display the "Element Information" Palette.
Then, if you select a placed Line, Polyline or Spline, the Element Information Palette will display its Length.

Thanks Laszlo,
That works great for what I am doing. I needed a quick way to know the total length of my radiant heat tubing layout which I want to keep under 500' per circuit.

if you'd want to schedule it instead, you could magic wand a beam to the shape and schedule the reference line (set up a layer for it etc). It will even cut your slab if you are doing quantity take off for the amount of cement needed for the floor finish
