How to calculate the total area of all polylines or all hatches?

For me is difficult to calculate the area of polylines or hatches one by one in Autocad 2008 .

Thanks for help

If your polyline is closed you can determine its area by command LIST.

Check the CAD Tips section of cadalyst magazine. I thought I just saw a lisp routine that will calculate the total area of all selected objects.

 

Start here: www.cadalyst.com.

Hmmmm....I may have been mistakened about "total area". Try this link instead re: area of multiple objects.

Someone else did all the writing. All you have to do is know how to load it. See the link posted above for instructions.

Thank you very much!!!!!

You were very helpful ...

 

Do you know any .lsp routine that can help me sum the areas of all the hatches that I have selected?

That's kind of what the link to the AUGI website (my third response) covered I believe. Did you take a look?
