Cumulative DIST command.

The standard AutoCAD DIST command measures only distances between two points.

If you want to measure a cumulative (total) distance defined by consecutive point clicks (multiple line segments), you can use the DIST2 LISP utility by CAD Studio, available on Download.

APPLOAD it into AutoCAD and start the DIST2 command.
