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.
Select lines & arcs or polylines of perimeter for area
calculation.
Select Objects: select lines and arcs or polylines
Lines and arcs are then joined together and the area
calculated.
Pick area label centering point (Enter for none): pick a
point
The area is then plotted at the point selected.
