I'm rather late with this request Martin, you asked me to remind you about it at Wakefield. I thought I had done so but it appears I have overlooked it until now. What I would like to see is an option to compute a path length as well as the enclosed area. My specific reason for it is to calculate the length of a walk by drawing the route over a scanned image of a map. So long as the map's grid lines are matched to ArtWork's grid, I should be able to get a direct read out of distance in kilometres. I'm sure other people can think of uses for such a facility.
