Title: Reporting true length of a connector
Post by: damnlimey on July 31, 2014, 06:09:57 PM
I am drawing a scale plan and am connecting shapes using the connector tool. In most cases these connections are not simple straight lines but make a series of turns (think house wiring diagram). I need an easy way to report the length of the connector. Size and position window's length field does not seem to do this correctly for anything other than a straight line connector.

Any easy answers? I don't want to have to get into writing code if I can avoid it.

Thanks

Which version of Visio?  Beginning with V2010, there is a shapesheet function, Pathlength, see this post:  http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=3639.msg14230#msg14230
