I am modelling a cable but don't have any of the routed systems options and so am using a sweep that uses a trajectory made up from a combination of sketched curves, and datum curves through points. How I can show the total curve length in the drawing?
Is creating an analysis feature and defining a parameter the only way?

To my knowledge, yes. If it was planar, in the sketch you could use a perimeter dimension.
Oh, and here's an idea: If possible, it could be a curve WRAPPED onto a surface, where, in the sketch, you use a perimeter dimension. This would make the trajectory directly modifiable, AND prevent needing to use a parameter which is a result of the geometry, not driving it. Saving one feature and adding flexibility. Obviously without seeing the geometry I can't tell if the wrap would work, but I've done exactly this before and thought I'd mention it.
Best of luck!
