How to calculate the area of objects and arrange them in a table in AutoCAD?
You may have encountered the need to calculate the area of various objects in your drawing if you work with AutoCAD. This can be useful for estimating the materials, costs, or dimensions of your design. The default area command in AutoCAD, on the other hand, does not allow you to quickly calculate the area of multiple objects and arrange them in a table format.
The good news is an AutoCAD LISP routine can be used to calculate the area of objects and arrange them in a table. In this blog post, I'll show you how to use a LISP routine to calculate the area of any object in your drawing and output the results to a table.
What is the AutoCAD LISP and how do you upload it to AutoCAD?
This LISP will allow the user to label picked areas or objects and either display the area in an ACAD Table (if available), optionally using fields to link area numbers and objects, or write it to a file.
After you have uploaded the LISP file, you need to type 'AT' to activate it.
Specify the starting number of the objects.
Pick a point for the table.
Finally, select your objects.
