Is there a way to measure the actual length of a curve?
Thanks.

I assume you mean circumference and not the angle. You can select the points making it up then use absolute measure (detail-measure-absolute measure). That will give you the distance between all the points, giving you a very close length of the curve, depending how rough it is. Should work with edges too, but double check your work.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Happy Digitals SplineLength reported it as 5.623616 (not quite accurate enough).
Absolute Measure reported it as 20.6786.
I've attached a screengrab. I'd say HD is the winner.
Thanks again :thumbsup:
