Finding the length of an arc in AutoCAD 14 and 2000
In versions R13 and earlier, you had to convert an arc into a polyline to find its length. However, you don't need to do this in AutoCAD R14 and R2000. One method of finding an arc's length is to select the arc, make one of its grips hot, then right-click and select Properties. This opens the Modify Arc dialog box in R14 and the Properties dialog box in R2000. Within these dialog boxes, you'll find the Arc Length value. Another way to determine an arc's length in these later versions is to run the List command at the command line. When you're prompted to select objects, click on the arc and press [Enter]. The AutoCAD Text window opens and displays several of the arc's properties, including its length.
