How to measure total length of all features in sketch

I have a sketch with around 1000 features (lines and circles). Is there a way to measure the total linear length of all features?
I would like to estimate how long it would take to laser-cut my sketch.
Thank you

The mass properties tool also has a face option, which works with solid faces and sketches. Perimeter would get you the linear length of all features, I think. Of course, this won't include time to move between cuts and also my laser cutter moves slower when making curves than when making straight lines, but I bet it's still a good estimate.
Perfect. Thank you Matt. I will have to trust the perimeter measurement for now, and I will see if it lines up with the laser-cutting time.
