About lenght property

Post by tamerhirca » Tue Aug 29, 2017 1:10 pm

Hello Andrew;
Thanks again for the great software.

My problem is very specific. I am trying to use the length property of a polyline to assess its cutting time using a laser machine. I will correlate the lengths to real time, define a function etc. However, when there are circles the length property returns nothing. Converting the circle to polyline does not work either. Please check the attachments; you shall see what I mean. Is there a method to see the circumference as length ?

Thanks.

Tamer

Hello Tamer,

After selecting 2 circles, use the info tools - total length of selection.

Result will be in the command line.

For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...
