Please define what you mean by "length of the toolpath."

Length as in distance can be seen by using the Span/Contour section of the Measure tool on the vectors used in the toolpath. It won't be 100% accurate to the toolpath length unless the cut is a profile toolpath on the line but should be good enough.
