To draw a point along selected polyline you can use Divide command or Measure command or use the Auto Lips to combine the steps to a new Lisp routine.
To give the length of polyline you can refer this following file:

calculate the Length off a polyline from begin till a point
I want to know the length of a line from the begin till the point where
I click or where the line cross a other line.
I can get the line and i can find where the intersection points are
with VBA but I can NOT find a function that calculate the the exact
length from begin to the intersection.
Can anyone help me to find the good way.
