   Hi~
I wrote length(width,height) of shape to excel watching design by autocad by 2008.

There are so many items. Sometimes, That makes me to write wrong length of shape.

Can i get shape length or dimension line in mouse drag?

Do you know any idea or lisp?
Thanks~

	Have you tried using the DISTANCE command? Have you tried doing a LIST on the object? Have you tried clicking on the object and checking either PROPERTIES or QUICK PROPERTIES? Is the object a block?

	Hi. Thanks for your replay. All length displayed on drawing. I just want to copy the length to excel sheet, easily. Have a nice day.

	So you want to extract all dimensions and place their values in a spreadsheet. I'm pretty sure I've seen a lisp routine that will do that but I cannot recall, at the moment, where I saw it. First try a search of this website in the Tricks and Tips forum. In the meantime, I'll take a look elsewhere. If I find something I'll post a link to it.

	The solution to your problem is contained within the link I have provided below in the form of a lisp routine. Read the ENTIRE thread because the author of the routine made a couple of changes in response to the person who made the original request. Be sure you understand what the changes were. You do know how to run a lisp routine right? http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-23285.html
