Calculating area?

Hello,
AREA command is very useful when calculating area made of polilines and so,
but let assume the area is surounded by lines or exploded rectangles.

Do you know, if there is any comand or lips program to calculate area simply
clicking mouse inside desirable area surounded by lines etc. not pointind at
every edge point. Somethig similar to aplying hatch using Pic Point,
pointing in to midle of region.

Thanks in advice,
Edgar

P.S. sorry about my English

 

You could try the BOUNDARY command.

You could try the BOUNDARY command.
thanks it works fine, except one moment, let asume there is not closed shape
it has a gap in its perimeter. With HACH command I can appy hach to the
gapped shape (controling system variable HPGAPTOL). what about to BOUNDARY
command, is there any system variable that controls gap detection so it
retur a ragion or polyline.



sincerely,
Edgar

 

new command in rel.: 2005 "hatch with a gap"
so upgrading is the answer.
