Is there a tool that will measure a linear element & place text

I was wondering there is a tool that will measure any linear element AND place a piece of text like ATOOL.MA does for areas.

Thank you

  • I was wondering there is a tool that will measure any linear element AND place a piece of text 

    Here's a LowCostLabeller tool that answers that question.  It's freeware.  It's more capable than the VBA macro described above.

    It demonstrates association (the label move when you move the line).  It uses a text field to display the line length, and it updates when you edit the line.

    Could it honor segment orientation also?

    You can orient the label along the line segment.

    I suggest enhancing this tool even more by placing the text on whatever rotated view is on?

    You can orient the label aligned with a view.
