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 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 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!
