PLine - How to use in a "Life Safety Plan" for perimeters?

How can I get (extract) the length of a pline that has multiple segments to use for a "Life Safety Plan" diagram? I need to show length segments of each part of the pline?

thanks,

This object may be useful, but it show only total lenght off all segments.
It´s in italian language.

thanks Andro.
if you find something that shows it in "English feet and inches" that would be great. So, only way that you can show the "data" of the pline is by creating a GSM object? hum....bummer.

I think you have set it.....Options > Project Preferences > Dimensions to "feet & fractional inches". The object will show right units.

I got a AC9 t-shirt for that one.

THIS ADDON may be what your looking for. It even takes vertical distances into account.

Place the Add-On in The AC default Add-Ons folder (or load it from Add-On Manager).
After restarting, Go: Document> Document Extras> Travel Distance
