Area by Lines & Arcs

This command allows you to calculate the area of a perimeter or lot defined by lines, arcs, or polylines. Default settings for this command are set in Area Defaults. One of these settings is Max gap to join. If there is a gap greater than this value, the area is not reported, and the program will show where the gap is with a temporary X symbol. The area data shows up on the text screen. You can then choose to plot the area information to the drawing, or, by hitting Enter, just read it from the text screen.
