This is a huge thing for me as I have just started making all of my clothing patterns in illustrator.
I need to know how to measure the length of a curved line. I don’t want to know the distance between the two points, I need to know the length of the line…
Google:
illustrator path lengthThere are a bunch of plugins that will do this for you.
Try ’em out and let us know how they work for you.

I had been searching google with “curved path measurement” for ages and hadn’t come up with anything but after i searched illustrator path length I found a great free plugin called Path Area by Telegraphics and it works great 😀
1. Window > Document Info
2. Open the palette menu
3. Check “Selection” and “Objects”
4. Select your path
5. Read the length of the path
I am trying to utilize PathLength for illustrator CS4 and I am having trouble seeing how to use it. Any hints?
