    Is it possible to get the square footage for a particular face of an
    envelope?

    We are considering using envelopes to define different areas of our
    plant and using those envelopes for various reasons, mostly for
    selecting items inside or outside the envelope, but we also want to be
    able to calculate the square footage that a given envelope covers.

    Thanks for any suggesstions,

    Sam

    It depends on how you acquire the face. If the face is manually
    selected, it should be possible to acquire via Selection Manager
    object.

    Do some experiments. Traverse the components and see how envelopes
    behave.
