AREACALC.VLX

Does anyone have a lisp that works similar to the Areacalc.vlx but inserts the text in Feet-inches? This calculates the area of 2D objects that are circles, ellipses, rectangles or closed polyline areas. It then allows you to places the calculated text displaying the area info where you choose. Stretch, modify or scale the object and the area text Automatically Updates! This is a great tool, but the only problem is that it reads the default units which is set to inches not Feet-inches. Thanks

You can use a Field to do this in 2005/2006. No external programs needed. In 2006, you can format the output in just about any way.
