PolyLine, Line, Length

JobaDiniz · Post by **JobaDiniz** » 04 Jun 2009, 17:26

How can I get the PolyLine's Length? Or Line's Length?
I didn't find this property.
Is there some math to calculate this?

Well, i think i solved the problem.
I sum the distances of each DPoint belonging to the PolyLine, as well the Line.

Now i'm in trouble here.
I have to calculate the length of an ellipse.
Anyone knows how can I do that with the properties Ratio, RadPt and/or Angle?

Hello Joba!

You can calculate the lenght of an ellipse by two ways:
- Summarize the distances of each DPoint like you did for PolyLine;
- Calculate lenght mathematically. For this you will need RadPt and Ratio properties of CADEllipse class to calculate major and minor half axes of an ellipse.
