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. There a few methods for defining
the direction of the adjusted segment. With the Selected method,
the original direction of the segment is maintained. The Line
method prompts to pick another line segment to define the
direction. The Angle method uses an entered angle for the
direction. The Points method prompts for two points to define the
direction.
