To determine the length of a 3D curve (or its segment), edge, sketch line, or face perimeter, use the Edge Length 
command.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Move the cursor to the object to measure the length. The measurement result will be displayed next to the cursor. If you want to display the obtained result in the Information window, select the object.
Selecting objects in the model graphic area
Selecting objects in the Design Tree
The selected object will be highlighted. Its name will be added to the Objects field of the Parameter Panel. The measurement result will be displayed in the Information window.

To measure the length of a broken line or contour, specify this object in the Design Tree. |
|
The object can be selected before calling the command. In this case, after calling the command the Information window with the measurement result appears on the screen. |
2.After the measurement is completed, the Create dimension button will appear on the Parameter Panel. This is used for creating a measurement object within the model. Details...
The 
icon and the name of the created measurement are displayed in the Design Tree.
3.You can measure the length of several edges in one command.
To quickly view the measured values, move the cursor to the desired edges.
Select edges in sequence to add measurement results to the Information window.
The selected edges will be highlighted. A list of measured lengths appears in the Information window, at the end of the list the sum of all values is indicated.
When you specify the edge again, it will no longer be highlighted, and the corresponding length value will be removed from the list and from the sum of values.

If you want to measure the perimeter of the facet, specify this facet immediately after calling the command. In this case, the sum of the measured values will correspond to its perimeter. |
4.If necessary, change the accuracy of the display of measurement results and the unit of length measurement using elements of the Information format section. Details...
This setting applies to all measurement results displayed in the Information window.
