simple area macro

[cproudfoot]

hi

could someone tell me the code for a button macro that will do the following:

basically the same as the AREA command. but with (Object) set automatically and the resulting area displayed in square meters instead of square mm.

thanks in advance

This one is headed in the right direction, though could use a little refinement:

^C^C_Area;o;\(strcat (rtos(cvunit (getvar "area") "sq mm" "sq m")2 3) " Square Meter(s) AREA and " (rtos(cvunit (getvar "perimeter") "mm" "Meters")2 3) " Linear Meter(s) PERIMETER");

impressive - thank you very much
