Topic: MLeader MText Line Length

[Jeff H]

My MdbDbg craps out when selecting a Mleader so just glancing at properties how do you go about getting  the length of the line in picture.
 
This seems to work with little testing but was wondering of a better way.
 

Code - C#: [Select]

1.  
2.           [CommandMethod("mleaderlength")]
3.          public void mleaderlength()
4.          {
5.              Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
6.              Database db = doc.Database;
7.              Editor ed = doc.Editor;
8.              using (Transaction trx = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
9.              {
10.                  MLeader ml = trx.GetObject(ed.GetEntity("\nSelect ML").ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead) as MLeader;
11.                  Point3dCollection pnts = ml.MText.GetBoundingPoints();
12.                  Point3d endP = pnts[2];
13.                  double length = endP.DistanceTo(pnts[3]) +  ml.DoglegLength +  ml.LandingGap;
14.                  ed.WriteMessage(length.ToString());
15.  
16.                  trx.Commit();
17.              }
18.          }
19.

What about this? not sure if this is right though
just a shot in the dark

Code: [Select]

ed.WriteMessage( "\nLength:\t{0}",ml.GetDoglegLength(0));
