Measuring length of multiple tracks

Hi easyw, I am playing with the Measure Lenght for the Selected Tracks version 1.4

This is a great tool. I was wondering if there is space for a new feature.

I was thinking that it could give separated results for multiple tracks of different ratnests when multiple tracks are selected, so we could visualize if their length match in an easy(w) way.

For instance, here, I am selecting the whole track of 2 wires. Right now, it is kind of presenting the sum of both lengths (97.823 + 97.823 = 195.646). But the tool could be able to detect the Rastnets each piece of the line belongs to and then summarize the results for comparison.

Another issue related is that the tool gives a value a bit different than the Kicad tool does.

See, this track using your tool (97.845 mm)

And there, the same track when using the existing tool to match the track length (99.427 mm)

I am guessing here that Kicad too is adding the Via depth too. There is one via on this whole track. Then removing the thickness of the top (0.015 mm) and the bottom (0.015 mm) solder masks gives me almost the same result as the Kicad Track Lenght Matching tool.

97.845 + 1.625 - (2 * 0.015) = 99.4 mm
