This command will calculate and report the area of
single area and
multiple
area closed polylines. Area by Closed Polyline will also automatically
find special
Carlson attributes attached to the polyline, in addition to
capturing the area itself. These attributes will appear in the
report, which can be the standard report or which can be presented in
the Report Formatter, which itself links to Excel and Access. For
example, property names and owner names, as applied to a polyline using
the Mine modules, will report out automatically using Area by Closed
Polyline. The command “Draw Lots from File…” will apply “extended
entity data” to the lot polylines, which includes the lot name, and
this
will also report out when using Area by Closed Polyline. In
addition, lot names, or any interior text whatsoever, can be captured
and
included in the report. The plot of the area on-screen
can be canceled if only the report is desired.

In this case, the “16” refers to Lot 16, and appears in
the
report because the lot number and existing area labeling were selected
along
with the polyline for the lot.
