How to calculate the area of closed polylines Quickly in AutoCAD?
If you use AutoCAD, you may have needed to calculate the area of closed polylines. This can be useful for estimating the materials, costs, or dimensions of your design. However, the AutoCAD default area command does not work well with closed polylines because it only measures the area of the polyline boundary rather than the actual enclosed area.
Thankfully, an AutoCAD LISP routine can be used to quickly and accurately calculate the area of closed polylines. In this blog post, I'll show you how to use the LISP routine to calculate the area of any closed polyline in your drawing. This program generates text with the area of selected closed polylines and places it in the AREARON layer.
What is the AutoCAD LISP and how do you upload it to AutoCAD?
After you have uploaded the LISP file, you need to type 'AREARON' to activate it.
Enter text scale.
Specify how many decimals your number is.
Finally, select your object.
