>From the UI POV I think adding the length at the statusbar (eg. "Bezier curve
selected (2.34cm)" could be an option. However, given that this request is part
of a larger somewhat specialized workflow/request I suggest to realize this per
macro. =>WF

If the total length would be required more often we may keep the ticket.

There exist the methods getLength() and getEdgeLength() for our internal 
B2DPolygon class. I think, Enrico wants such tool in the UI.

The list of points is available in the API for all polyline, polygon and curve
objects. The total edge length can be determined using macros. If you only want
to get the length in an info box, that is simple. More difficult and complex
would be to produce an object in the drawing, that adapt itself to changes in
the drawing. I don't know whether that is possible with macros.

In addition to comment 1: "Position & Size" in the Properties sidebar shows the
dimension of the surrounding box if you select multiple objects or for the
group. 

What exactly is missing?

Thanks for the report.

There are quite a few requests in here, and it is easier to have a single
feature request per ticket.
But I'll try to answer:

(In reply to Enrico Cora from comment #0)
> Description:
> For cable design
> Is it possible add useful CAD features like ?

There are dedicated CAD programs like https://librecad.org/, maybe they are
more suited for the time being?
In any case:

> 1) Measures of lenghts for continuos and connected lines or arch (like
> polilines in Autocad I draw and then I can have the total lenght)

We have Dimension Lines currently, but that works for single lines and is not
ideal to use if the user only wants to retrieve the length of one
(multi)selection.

Related question:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-calculate-the-length-of-an-curve-in-libreoffice-draw-like-in-coreldraw/63780
With an answer suggesting the extension
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/cadlo (which might cover
other issues you have)

Maybe this is already covered by bug 90027? I could imagine some info in the
statusbar, but maybe a dedicated "Object stats" dialog could contain a variety
of numbers, just like we have text document stats.

> 2) Assign a descricptive name (as a bookmark for a group and this group has
> associated proprierties such the lenght as indicated at point (1))

You can assign a name to objects and groups in the Navigator or with
right-click > Name...

> 3) Create an automatic BOM table report for all elements created at point 2

I think this is out of scope for Draw and should be only available in dedicated
CAD software or through extensions like CADLO.

> 4) For each group named (point 2) can be setted a specific that impact on

It is possible to change line style, colour, etc. for the whole group, and to
move it at once to a different layer with drag-and-drop onto the tab (see also
bug 122587 for improvements to layers management).
Visibility and printability is currently only at layer level, so that's the
current workaround, but there are requests to extend such properties to
objects, see e.g. bug 89831.

In conclusion, in my opinion, I think what you ask for is either out of scope
or already covered in other reports.
Am I missing something? In any case, to be actionable, you should create more
specific bug reports instead of a whishlist.
