Cumulative Areas In Text Fields


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello Everyone.

 

I've just been doing an area schedule and required gross areas. Now to do this I was hoping that I could place a piece of text with a field (area selected) in it and select multiple shapes, that would give me a cumulative area of the shapes. However, fields only work, from what I know, on one object. Is there an intelligent way to make the field link to several objects and give a total area of the objects?

 

I know of the cheating way to do this where one joins all the shapes via very small linkages that don't affect the overall area, but this is unclean and time consuming. There must be a better way!
