Hi, is it possible to log the length of a selected path as millimeters?

I tried the 'Check maximum path length' action, but I did not understand how to use it..

Hi Magnus,

Attached is an actionlist that i once received from Enfocus.
It uses checks if the dieline is less than 1mm.
If not, then it logs a warning containing the actual length.

Hi Magnus,
Here is my two script i use for Zund purpose.

The first one will check the total length line of specific spot colors.
The second one will count the number of element of specific spot colors.

Thanks, this works very good!

I also noticed that Pitstop ships with standard Action lists named 'Length of cutter guide...' :lol:

The standard action lists seem to select any object with the spot colour. Not only the spot color assigned to the stroke which is required by most imposition software. So they need to be adjusted.
