[Solved] - Curve length measurements ?

[raminee]

How does one measure the distance on a curved line/edge of an object ?
See attached image.

Any pointers will be much appreciated.
Thank you

Select the arc.

type Ctrl+Shift+P

go to the python console and type: sub.Length

hit enter and see the length.

Edit: nevermind, I see you want to measure the distance between the curves...

Your 2 curves are created in sketches , measure their distances in this sketch

I do not want to measure distances between the curves.
I was just showing two curves as an example that I want to measure their distances.

Sketch does not show curved distances.
Yes it does allow for measurement of distances between the curves but that is not what I want.

do you want it or not
you draw a construction line (in blue) and measure it
otherwise use the Measure function

Yes I do want to know how to measure the distance.
But I do not know how to or see any tools in sketch that measures curved distances.
please advise.
Thank you.

If the center of the arcs is the same, simple r1 - r2 = distance.

Ok let me clarify my question again :

(see new image )

I DO NOT wish to measure the distance between two curves/arcs.

I wish to measure the distance of a curved edge/line.

The curve is not a circle or a geometric shape where I can measure or calculate the curved distance.

you mean the length of the curve? select the edge in the 3d view, right click -> send to python console, then in the python console write

Code: Select all

sub.Length

[raminee]

I have done the python command sub.Length, as suggested earlier by drmarco, but it just gives me the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
