All of the sudden just today, the cumulative total on the polylength tool is not showing. I can not find any check box for this. I have also tried on multiple files.

Select the polyline and go to the properties panel and be sure that SHOW CAPTION is checked and be sure that LENGTH is selected under the EDIT button next to SHOW CAPTION.  Hopefully that will be the fix.

All items were as suggested. I did find out something this morning while working on a larger sheet. the cumulative total is showing up, but way off to the right side of the screen, so on a smaller sheet, it is actually out off the sheet. see attachment.

Thanks

Is the cumulative shifted way off on all new polylengths that you do?  If so, draw one polylength, then drag the cumulative measurement text to where you would like it (drag it by pressing SHIFT then clicking and dragging on the text). Then, with the polylength still selected, go back to the properties panel and click the "Set as Default" button at the bottom and see if that changes it.  Note: that will also set line type, color, width, opacity, etc to your default.  That may work.

That suggestion appears to have worked, I use the save as default for fonts and what not, somehow the dimension must have gotten drug way off the screen prior to a save.  Thanks you for the suggestion

Glad to hear!
