ReMark Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 One way of doing this is with a LISP routine. There are a few available at the CAD Tips section of the cadalyst magazine website. www.cadalyst.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 This is an example of the type of LISP program I was referring to: http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/create-dimension/label-square-acreage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECHAL Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just polyline the region and then use the list command select the pline and it will tell you the area. May have to press F2 button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 The OP wants the area to be displayed automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picuscad Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks for replying Shibuboss. I did use "bo" command and mesuring tool in 2010. I am not shure if that was a lisp file that I inserted or that is implemented in the program. Is there any tutorial on using lisp editor? the best will be one example step by step.I had some trouble to activate the inserted file. Thank you ReMark for pointing to lisp. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
