(setq sset (ssget '((0 . "LINE,LWPOLYLINE"))) to this: (setq sset (ssget '((0 . "LINE,*POLYLINE,ARC,CIRCLE,ELLIPSE,SPLINE"))) BUT since not all of those entity types have the same "length" VLA property [some have one but under a different name], you would also have to change this line: (vla-get-length (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname sset num))) to this: (vlax-curve-getDistAtParam (setq ent (ssname sset num)) (vlax-curve-getEndParam ent)) which will find the length of any (vlax-curve-...)-compatible entity, open or closed. And you can have it report in whatever Units you like. Change this: llen (rtos llen 4) which reports in Architectural units [the 4] to just: llen (rtos llen) if you want it to report in whatever your current Units and Precision settings are, or use other values for units and precision in the (rtos) function, to suit your requirements. [Also, I would change the (alert) to use a word like "object" instead of "line."]

Sorry, I meant 'summation was given in metric units'. Yes, I got it in millimetres.

John, thanks very much. I tried it and it worked perfectly. Everything was calculated - lines and arcs!, and the summation was given in metres!! Thanks again.

You should have tried Lee Mac's program.

Thanks very much Kent. I just tried this method and it worked! But the issue is that it gives the summations in feet and inches. Secondly, it doesn't select arcs for summation.
