Does your shape boundary have some overlapping? Try posting the file if you are needing a solution.

Yes, have a lot of layers, how can i post the file?? with the link?? sorry, im new here!!

Thanks for the fast reply!

That is just an image, it would help if you posted the file. You could try drawing a rectangle around the whole area and issuing the Boundary command.

I wasn't really sure they had selected the hatch because they write "I already selected all area and...". I couldn't tell from that what they had clicked on.

I did download this but you saved it at i think 2010 so I cant open it, you need to save at a earlier version so everyone can open it

Sorry but a 55mb file is a bit big to download just to take a look.

You may be correct, now that I have reread this.

Works for me if the HATCH is selected. BTW the OP can really make use of AutoCAD MAP3D for this type of work. : )

i don't understand.... if there is a polyline around it this can show the area, or selecting the hatch itself will show its area - how come LIST doesn't work?

My guess is the OP did not select the hatch but something else (the dwg has an Xref "image" in it) or they have a bad install of AutoCAD, missing SP or poor workstation performance.
