I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC to create SVG for my web animations, but the only tedious process is finding the length of each path lines in the generated SVG.

I tried Googling, but couldn't find anything related for CC Version(found for CS6 though).

So, Is there any tool(or plugin) which I could use to measure the length of Path lines exactly?

path length

"You can view the length of a path in the sloppily tagged-on grab-bag Document Info palette. From its flyout menu, turn on Selection Only and Objects. Select a path and the palette will list its length, number of anchors, and other stuff."

Here's an alternative if you don't have CC--this will work up to CS5, then again in AI 22 (ref):

  1. Open the debug panel by pressing ctrl-alt-shift-F12 on Windows (maybe ctrl-opt-cmd-F12 on Mac?).
  2. Select the object you want to measure and notice its name, probably "path", changes to bold underline in the "object tree" section. (It's easiest to find there if it's the topmost object in the document.)
  3. Click the bold underlined name and the details, including "length" appear in the "objects" section.
