jloganthomas Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hello! I am trying to create a line type that symbolizes a cable, and I would love to have its length calculated and included in the run of the cable. In the example image, the "#LENGTH" would be the auto-calculated total length of the polyline. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would say that this isn't possible + that the closest you will get is manually placing Data Tags after you've drawn the Lines... Although I'm sure someone clever could script something. Or are there no options in ConnectCAD or whatever for this kind of thing...? 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I agree with Tom. I don't think Line Types are that dynamic and Data Tags are the best option. Quote Link to comment
bob cleaver Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 can you use an existing tool like the wall or fence tool to have lengths available for reporting. Quote Link to comment
