Need to connect line segments and get a length total using the measurement tool/ruler

[railbike (Michael T. Rohde)]

I am learning Lightburn, using it to lay out lines for stitching holes in leather.

Is there a way to select individual line segments (contiguous) and use the measurement function to get a total line length?

I am sometimes using complex curves and need the total line length in order to lay out equidistant stitching holes in pieces that have the same line length but different radii in order to “ease” hand stitched parts together.

When drawing up up to the he patterns I use copy along path, but the line lengths and stitch spacing have to be equal.

Getting a total length of the segments would simplify what I’m doing.

Thanks.

I believe the only way is to select the line you want to measure and do a preview and get the distance.

But maybe for what your trying to achieve Perforation Mode is a better bet

Thanks for the lightning speed reply. I’ll take a closer look at the perforation mode.
Really appreciate it!
