Sliding Side Area

Function

This command adjusts one side of a polyline to meet a specified area. The existing area can be defined by a closed polyline or by picking each point in the perimeter. The desired area can be entered in either square feet or acres. The area to adjust must be represented by a closed polyline. The program moves the selected segment of the polyline in or out. The original direction of the segment is maintained.
