How do I get the total length of these curves and lines ?

What is an efficient way to get the total length of a group of lines and curves like this?

Convert to walls, put them in a schedule and see what the total length is ?

Is there a better way to do this ?

You could try to 'Unify' the lines together or magic wand a polyline or spline over them.
Then select the line you just created and use 'Element Information' palette to see the length.

You could unify them, then select the resulting polyline and list it in your Element Information dialog.

From there you can export it as a text file if need be.

And that 'Length in Working Units' will display the length in measurements as set in your working units dialog, if the default doesn't suit you.

I think that may be new, as I hadn't noticed it before

Cheers,

Thank you very much. That works for me.
