Area

hello all!

I have irregular shapes in my plan. Can autocad calculate the area of these shapes/areas automatically? can you give me the command how to do this? thank you..

I'll appreciate your help.

For sure it can! In fact the answer is just in your thread's title - command AREA. It will allow you to specify a contour by picking his vertexes or can indicate a closed entity. May also perform add or subtract operations between different shapes.

Thank you! yes.. I forgot the area command... I thought it wont work on irregular shapes...

Also - the area is shown for all polylines and splines in the properties palette - no command required!

For sure it works with irregular surfaces, it works even with self-intersecting ones. The only condition is to be a close curve, region or solid (area of all faces); for not-closed curves the results can be unpredictable (but perimeter is correctly listed).

yes... thank you very much!
