Visio line length

I'm having troublr finding the correct forum to ask this question. its in MS Office section but i've got no response.

When I use the free form line tool to draw a line I need to be able to measure the line length.

When I click on the line and view its properties I get a length and wide for an object which is actually a rectangle formed as a best fit between points on my free form line. Which is not what I want.

Is this a known bug or an I taking the wrong approach.

Measuring and Dividing Objects:
When you need to identify specific intervals on an object, you can use the MEASURE and DIVIDE commands.

-MEASURE specifies the length of each segment.
-DIVIDE specifies the number of equal segments.

With both methods, you can identify the intervals by inserting either a point object or a named set of objects known as a symbol or a block.

Am I getting somewhere???
