Hi is there an easy way to calculate the length of a spline using .netdxf? |

There is no formula to calculate exactly the length of a NURBS curve. With the available methods you have at the moment you can calculate it using brute force, discretizing the spline into a set of segments, with the desired precision, using the ToPolygonVertexes method and add up their lengths which will always be a lower bound of the actual spline length. If you dig up perhaps you may find a smarter, more optimized solution. |

Thank you so much this will do the trick as all I have to do is provide an estimate. |
