I use Carlson 2023 with IntelliCAD 10.1. I was looking for a tool to tell me the cumulative distance of multiple segments, not just between two points like the DIST command.I didn't find anything in IntelliCAD because I used the word "cumulative" instead of "total". (It has a Windows 3.1-style help.)So I searched on Google and found this forum and a tip that gave me directions to downloading a LISP that worked! https://www.cadforum.cz/en/qaID.asp?tip=6085And then my coworker in the next cubical told me that IntelliCAD already has a command called TOTALLENGTH that allows you to find a total length by selecting multiple segments, even if they are not contiguous.Thought folks should know :-)

The check always returns positive because the Armor Stand is on its own position within those perimeters. Removing the Armor Stand from the second check might help your issue?

I did a pair of commands for this kind of thing, in SumDist.zip, >here<. The one called SumDist is for independent, i.e. disconnected, distances, meaning you pick both ends of each one. The one called SumDistCont is for continuous/contiguous distance, such as along Polyline segments or a series of end-to-end Lines, so you can pick only once at each location. They both report each distance along the way as well as the cumulative total so far.

I use AutoCAD 2025 LT version and the Total/ Cumulative Distance can be measured by DIST2 command files is on the https://www.cadforum.cz/en/download.asp?file=Dist2 . There will be a tips how to Load Lisp file on AutoCAD LT https://www.cadforum.cz/en/how-to-load-install-a-lisp-application-in-autocad-tip7245 .Note - AutoCAD LT 2023 or Below Version does not Support any Lisp File.

I completely agree?it's always great when a hidden gem like the TOTALLENGTH command comes to light! It?s amazing how a single overlooked feature can save so much time and effort. I?ve had similar moments in web development where discovering built-in tools felt like striking gold. Speaking of optimised performance, just as IntelliCAD simplifies tasks with commands like TOTALLENGTH, web developers aim to ensure fast-loading, responsive websites that keep users engaged. If you're curious, there are some interesting alternatives to Angular worth exploring for building efficient applications. Cheers for sharing this tip - it’s a real timesaver!
