Polylength Measurement

The Polylength measurement tool places specialized markups that calculate multiple, linear measurements as well as their cumulative length. This can be particularly useful, for example, when measuring individual segments of a continuous piece of material.

Polylength measurements can appear to be similar to Area Measurements, but they are not closed shapes; even when they are created such that their start and end points touch, they are always treated as open shapes.

For just the cumulative length of a multi-segment line, also see Perimeter Measurements. For single length measurements, see Length Measurements. For a similar markup without a measurement, see the Polyline Tool.

As with any measurement, be sure to calibrate the document first.
