The Select Edges command on the Edit menu enables you to select just the edges of items in the Layout Editor and measure the length of the edges selected.
- Do one of the following:
- From the menu bar, click Edit > Select Edges.
- From the Layout ribbon, open the Select Elements drop-down menu and click Select Edges.
- Right-click in the Layout Editor and click Select Edges.
- From the Layout Editor, move over the edge you want to select. A line appears at the cursor, indicating that you are over that edge.
- Click the edge to select it.
The selected edge is highlighted. The Distance field on the Status bar displays the length of the edge. If you select multiple edges, the Distance field shows the sum of the edges' lengths.
