i dont think.... you can only get from the shape properties///there is no dimension tool for circumfeence

The Area Command ,Object option will give it to you also. Then copy and paste text from the command line. No association but it gets it in the drawing.

ger21 sent me this cool link & I am forever greatfull! It is a lisp file that calculates total length of objects. Just save the file, type in appload, load the lisp & type in tlen. Select object(s) & thats it. This might not be exactly what you are looking for but its still pretty cool.
