How to export LENGTH of connectors

M

Mac

Hi all,
I have a drawing with several layers; on each layer there are objects
connected via -yep, guessed it- connectors; I run each layer through several
stages of development - at each stage the objects move a bit and connectors
respective lengths change; I want to export the LENGTH (coordinates won't
help me) parameter of connectors on each layer for each stage...how do I do
that, gurus?

Well, the first question is "is the information available" and the answer is
yes. It's stored in "LengthIU" inside the shape, but is only available via
code.

Thanks a lot, Al. Having the information I need stored somewhere in the
variables, that's the good (great!) news. :) Being a developer myself it
should not be much of a problem for me to get at those LengthUI's. Could you
direct me to some tutorials on this topic (preferably no VB coding, please)?

Well, now I realized that I probably won't be able to get around without
VBA...so my questions now is - do you know of a sample project which would
show me how to extract these LengthUI vars and export them to a list, e.g. an
Excel sheet? For such info I'm willing to pay you...like...dance lessons?:)
