Rectangles areas in real time

Hello!

Does anyone know a routine that enables provide real-time the sum of areas of rectangles as you draw consecutively?

You can use Data Extraction for this. It provides real-time updating (granted, you have to manually Update the Table) but it will take each RECTANGLE, show the Area of each one, and you can add a footer that sums all the values.

I've tested it and it works:

I like the data extract idea.

Sum of areas, you could via a lisp invoke the rectang or pline or circle command and just keep remembering to add the area displaying after the object is drawn. Or at any time current area. Something like ask which C - P - R - T each time run. Teknomatica if you really want this ask.

; needs front end what to draw c - p - r - T
; this is generic code may not work on some objects
(if (=  obarea nil)(setq obarea 0.0))
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)))
(setq obarea (+ (vla-get-area obj) obarea))
(Alert (strcat "Total Area is " (rtos obarea 2 3)))

I use this routine Lee Mac, which is great.

It solves and my need.

But the sum intended to be provided in real time and sequentially

to the design of ractangles.

Sorry the translated English.

tzframpton,

Thanks for the collaboration. It is a possibility but for what I want does not seem the most practical solution.

teknomatika the question is why do you need to know the area as you draw ? The suggestion I made was a possible answer draw something and add area and display, Thinking about it more I would draw something then "TOTA" for total area which uses a preloaded lisp. It could also write to a file similar to dataextract with say "Circle area". The advantage of an independant command is you only add correct objects as you create. It is feasible to have a reactor that you start and it would keep adding areas till you stop it.

If all you need to do is pick a rectangle and see the Area, you can do that in Properties. No need for Lee Mac's code.

I did not understand me. I want to draw many rectangles consecutively and simultaneously I want to know the value of the sum of the respective areas. That is, the area of ​​each new rectangle is added to the previous area, and so on.

Something like this perhaps?

I was thinking about area field object, which would include every new drawn rectangle, so it would work even when the rectangle(s) are modified.

Or some kind of reactor.

Exactly. For the task I want to save me several steps and time.

Lee Mac, fantastic job again. Thank you! You are one of the best!

Thank you for your kind words, I'm pleased that the program will help you and others.
