camperoh Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi, I have a poliline that defines an area. I will like to label that area (something like AREA #1 = xxx sqft) but had that area connected to the poliline so everytime I change the poliline the area will be re-caulculated automatically. After I do that, I'll like to have some areas in SQFT and others in ACRES. How I go about changing the meassuremnt units and labels? Thanks and regards.

lpseifert Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Look into using a Field Under Additional Format you can specify a conversion factor for Acres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camperoh Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks.... but do I put the label and the area on the drawing? I am really new to ACad.... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Try the Field command... Pick Object from the left pane Select the polyline using the little icon next to Object Type in the middle pane you'll figure out the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPlanera Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 To add, updating the field after area change requires a REGEN or UPDATEFILED. I dont think fields dynamically update as you would want them to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
