    Hi, My drawing containing multiple lines (10,000+) on a single layer
    that I need to calculate the collective length of.

    I appreciate that AutoCad itself won't be able to do this, but if I
    could get the data into a text file or even better Excel I could then
    manually (using macros) add the line lengths up. AutoCad must contain
    the data I need as the 'List' command displays sufficient data and
    more. Whilst I could cut&paste this data into Excel and sort it out
    there, the text field is overloaded and I loose the info I need.

    Therefore is there a way of?
    1) Exporting the results of a list file directly into a .txt document.
    2) Tailoring the output of the 'List' command to only include Lengths.
    3) Obtaining the required data using other means.
