Sq inch to SQ Foot ?

Is there a way to switch this in LWPOLYlINE list view?
Basically i am trying to get it to list area 0.7281 square ft. first then
(104.85 square in.) instead of the example shown below.


LWPOLYLINE Layer: "0-XREF"
Space: Model space
Handle = 2294D
Closed
Constant width 0'-0"
area 104.85 square in. (0.7281 square ft.)
perimeter 3'-7 7/8"

at point X=-4'-9 15/16" Y=-3'-11 1/2" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=-3'-7 1/16" Y=-3'-11 1/2" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=-3'-7 1/16" Y=-4'-6 9/16" Z= 0'-0"
at point X=-4'-9 15/16" Y=-4'-6 9/16" Z= 0'-0"

Thanks,

I don't think that is possible....

 

If you nead to convert sq inch in sq foot

how do you do it?

Henrique

 

(defun inches_to_sq_feet ( inches )
(setq sq_ft (/ 144.0 inches))
(prompt "\n ")
(prompt (strcat "\nSquare Feet = " (rtos sq_ft)))
(princ)
); function
(defun C:I2F ()
(setq inchs (getreal "\nEnter Number of Inches [real number]:"))
(inches_to_sq_feet inchs)
(princ)
); function

Save above as i2f.lsp
(load "i2f")
At command prompt, type in:
I2F

NICE!! damn i wish i knew how to write auto lisp routines like you! Thanks
alot!

 

(cvunit 144.0 "sq in" "sq ft") returns 1.0

look up cvunit for more info

here are a couple of menu entries I have in a pulldown for convenience:
[Last Area SF to SY]^C^C^P(strcat "Last AREA: " (rtos(getvar"area")) "
equals " ((rtos (/ (getvar"area") 9.0)) " SY") ^P
[Last Area SF to Acres]^C^C^P(strcat "Last AREA: " (rtos(getvar"area")) "
equals " (rtos (CVUNIT (getvar"area") "SQ FT" "ACRES")) " Acres") ^P

So after getting the area of an object(s) I can just select whatever from
the menu for an easy conversion.

 

Look at this thread for TAGAREA.LSP

 

Thanks Matt.
You may also want check into the cvunit command
as Josh suggested. That is another way...
