Report Areas By Layers

This command reports the area within a closed polyline broken out by sub-areas for areas on defined layers. For example, the main perimeter polyline could be the property boundary and the defined layer polylines could be for wetland areas. Then this routine would report the overall property boundary along with the wetland area.

The layers to process are setup in the Define Area Layers command. The defined layer polylines need to be closed polylines. The program finds all the defined layer areas within the main perimeter polyline and layer polylines that cross the perimeter are automatically trimmed to get the area within the perimeter. The program uses the report formatter to display or export the results.
