Is there a way to get linear dimensions of an edge?

[hoja]

Hi, is there a way in AutoCad to get the linear dimension for a contour, if I draw a rectangle in 2D that's 50" long and 20" deep, what command could I use so it tells me that the linear dimension in inches is 140" in length? (all around)

If you just want the length reported, try "tlen.lsp" from

http://www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff/index.htm

It reports the total length of selected lines/polylines/etc.
