Area by Interior Point

This command calculates and labels the area of the perimeter surrounding a picked interior point. The Boundary Polyline command is used to find the perimeter. Generally, this command will only work on closed or overlapping objects. Use Area by Lines & Arcs for other applications. The settings for the area label and for whether to prompt to create a closed polyline for the area are under the Area Defaults command.
