    I need to draw a line and when drag cursor for 'second point' input ,
    I wish display length of line (in real-time) near cursor (like yellow tooltip in polar mode).

    I have used grread,grdraw and one little text entity to display in
    real-time line length.
    The problem is that grread function does not recognize ortho, snap e
    osnap modes... the crosshair is completely free.

    someone have one (good) idea ?
    thanks :)

    Hi Pino

    Use hyperlinks...
    To get an idea refer thread 'URL and Lisp' from Mon, 08 Nov 2004 posted by
    UnderdogNo1.
    To update the informations in case of modify the object, you've to use an
    object reactor to refresh the hyperlink string.

    Cheers

    Hi Pino

    Ignore my previous post... I didn't read some details of your question.

    If you wanna dynamically watch the length of the line, you can set sysvar
    'COORDS' to value 2.
    This will show the value in the status line.

    Cheers
