Area Descriptions By Interior Text

This command is used to assign a description to a closed polyline. The description is stored with the polyline in the drawing. This description is used for reports in routines like Area By Closed Polylines.

The program prompts to select closed polylines and text. For each closed polyline, the program looks for a text label inside the polyline and assigns that text as the description for the polyline.
