ruler measurment which sums all sections passed at once

robert 21

Hello, i am trying to calculate the total perimeter of the inductor.by pressing K i managed only to see the length of separate sections .

Is there a way to see the total perimeter of the whole shape ?
Thanks.

  • Your ruler appears to be along the centre line, not the perimeter. If you want to use a ruler, start drawing the ruler and then hit F3 and change the Segment Mode to "Multiple" - it will give you the total across all segments.

    You can also use Options->Dynamic Display (turn on Info Balloon) and it will show the total length of a connected set of path segments (such as above) if you hover over the shapes. If you really want the perimeter, without writing some code (or drawing a ruler) you could select the pathSeg, Edit->Convert->To Polygon, Edit->Basic->Merge, and then hover over the polygon (with info balloons on) and it will show the perimeter. You can then undo twice to get back to where you were...
