    I know that if you click on a flat pattern face and use the measure
    tool, this will give you the square area of that part. Is it possible
    to link this to a field on a drawing?

    Also, if anyone has a macro that will give the square area of a part in
    feet, please post. Currently, I have to change the units from inches
    to feet whenever I need the area of a part.
