Measrue perimeter of a shape?

[Mr Big]

How can u measure the perimeter of a shape in visio 2003?

 

[David Parker]

LengthUI Property

Returns the length (perimeter) of the Shape in internal units.

Public Sub Perim()
MsgBox (Application.ActiveWindow.Selection.PrimaryItem.LengthIU(False))
End Sub

Note that the shape must be "closed", ie the last line must return to the
start

Hi,

With the shape or shapes selected, choose Tools > Addons > Visio Extras >
Shape Area and Perimeter... Here's the description of the perimeter field
in the addon, from the Online Help:

Displays the perimeter of the selected shape or shapes. From the list,
select the unit of measure you want.
