FREE AUTOCAD LISP

LAYLENGTH — total line & polyline length per layer, in one table

Select your linework, pick a point, and LAYLENGTH inserts an AutoCAD table with the total length of every layer — pipes on one row, roads on another, each summed and sorted by layer name. No measuring one entity at a time, no calculator.

It measures true curve length — lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses and splines all count for exactly what they are, not their straight-line approximation.

How to use it

1. Unzip, then load the .lsp with APPLOAD.
2. Type LAYLENGTH at the command line.
3. Select the entities to measure – a window over everything works fine; anything that isn’t linework is filtered out automatically.
4. Pick the table’s insertion point. Done – one row per layer, sorted alphabetically.
