Measure Line/Curve Tool

What it Does​

Tells you how long a line or curve is, measured along its path. Select several and the tool gives you their combined length.

Use this when you need the length of an edge, such as a neckline or an armhole, or the length of several connected edges added together.

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by selecting the Measure Line/Curve icon
  2. Select one or more lines or curves
  3. Select Calculate. The Total Length box shows the result in your current unit
  4. To measure something else, select or deselect lines and curves and select Calculate again
  5. Select Close when you are done
warning

This tool measures along the line or curve, not straight from end to end. To measure a straight distance between points, use the Distance Between Points Tool.
