AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Get The Area Of Polyline
Jan 18, 2013
how to get the area of this polyline .........
i used properties command >>>
i used li command >>>
i used area then o command >>>> it says that area = 362.5350 ok this is wrong ..
i calculate the area of the polyline by separating it to parts then subtract the area >>> 368.62 - 7.79 = 360.83 this is the correct area
actually this is to hard to separate polyline to parts, when i have alot of polyline.
i guess this problem causes, when you have self-intersecting polylines the file is attached ..

Presently the "AREA" of a closed polyline is in "sq-in" first, THEN "sq ft".
For everything I do, and likely others, I need sq ft - without having to waste time and roll my cursor over the results.
Is there ANY way to change this default to have sq ft FIRST!??

Autocad 2011 and 2011 LT both give the wrong area for sertain polylines. While Autocad 2005 gives the correct area.
Its terrifying how many official documents may be wrong because of this bug.

I was wondering if there is a settings for the displayed values in a polyline's properties. Such as area. Normally it will display square feet but I would like for it to also display acres. I know it a simple conversion, but over the course of a year or more it could save me alot of time.

How can I extract text from polyline area. Ideally scaled by some factor (drawing in millimeters convert to area in meters).
I need to write a lot of areas of some room etc. into them and i want to know if there is another possibility than select polygon note the area and make text.
I'm unsing AutoCAD 2005 CZ.

I have linked my drawing to a database with text inside a closed polyline. Is there a way to have the area of the closed polyline stored in the database as a live area.

I would like to convert a spline to a polyline for the sole purpose of finding the area. Is there a way to do this or is there another way to find the area of a spline? Typing list does not give me the area.

I have an irregular shaped polyline in civil 3d that needs to be 31.5 acres. It is currently 32.8 acres. Without manually rescaling this polyline over and over again in order to achieve a polyline that represents 31.5 acres, can Civil 3D automatically draw the polyline to represent 31.5 acres for me?

I have a closed polyline that i can add the area to via a field in mtext using the options under area. I would like the area to always be rounded down to the nearest square meter. Is the a way to do this via the acfields.fdc file?

I need to add a hatch fill polyline area but leave the text island out. What I did is put put Polyline ID and Text island ID into an ObjectIDCollection. The code doesn't throw any error but I can't see the hatch.
Public Function AutoCADAddHatch(ByRef newAddedHatch As Hatch, ByRef HatchElementIDs As ObjectIdCollection, ByVal HatchColour As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color,
_ ByVal HatchLayerName As String, Optional ByVal PatternName As String = "SOLID", Optional ByRef strError As String = "") As Boolean
Dim db As Database = acApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database

I was just wondering why when I try and calculate an area using a polyine, I am getting a readout of 1.80401967E+07, when I have it set to give me the calculation in square feet? It is an area of approx. 246 Acres.....is this because the area is so large? I am not sure what the "E" stands for or the "+07" at the end....

I've read 2013 is going to include line labeling capabilities by selecting 2 points rather than selecting linework. Is there going to be a way to label an area without creating a closed polyline or parcel, where it works the way a hatch works. So if I selecting in the middle of multiple individual intersecting lines, it labels the area.

I am using 2012 autoCad. I have created an external MS access database in 2010. I want to map some fields like Polyline areas to DB field. DBConnect wasn't that much usrful to me for external databse.(Or I might be missing something).
Is there anyway that I can map AutoCAD-2012 Polylines to External database field so that updating polyline auto updates the database??

I have many floorplans and each room has a polyline around it.
What I'd like to do, is be able to select multiple (or single) polylines and have a dynamic field with the area attached to each polyline placed in the middle (or on a consistent edge, say top left). Preferably with custom units as we use mm for the drawings, but would want the area in m2. Also custom text heights.
I can find a lot of 'put the area in the middle' scripts, but they're either not dynamic or they require a click to place each one - and with over 700 floorplans and over a hundred or more rooms on some, it's not really possible to do each one individually!

I'd like to set up a blockwith different attributes like Roomname, Floor, Area,...
Therefore I'd like to link a polyline of the drawing with the block and it shows me its area. I know how it works with fields, but not how to connect it when the field is within a block.
Is there a LISP for that?

LSP file i downlaoded from web.it is to use for Area with (m2) and room name. by click polyline.
i want to modify it to use without adding Room Name, just insert area to the drawing.
(defun drtxt (/ rn tx ls vl lt ht lb hb nr pt)
(setq tx (strcat "Area: "
(rtos (/ (getvar "area") 1000000) 2 2)
" m2"
)
rn (getstring "
Room Name: ")

I create a lot of fields that reference a polyline area and I'm constantly having to change the default formatting values. I would like it to default to an Architectural format, WITHOUT the appended "SQ. FT." (which often takes up too much space), with a precision of 0 and using a comma as the Thousands Separator.
Is there any way to set these default values?

Is there a way to make AutoCAD2012 display the area of a closed Polyline as Feet- Inch(ex 22'-4") rather than the feet as a decimal (ex feet=22.3333333) as it does when the units are set to Architectural or Engineering?

I have imported a dwg witch was created by Revit. The problem is that it creates polyline vertex for curves. But i want a arc, or at least not so many segments.
on the image; on the left is what i got, on the right is what i want.

I'm drawing a polyline with a width of 5". In previous versions, the pline would always appear solid. Now it appears clear. I want it to appear solid. If this is editable in the pline properties, or if it's something you turn on after you pick the first point, much like typing 'W' to enter the width?

I'm working on a project that a coworker already started but he drew walls as 200mm thick polylines and he wants them changed to be two lines set 200mm offset of each other. He thinks there is an easy command to do this.

I am not sure how to change this, but I am adding polylines and they are coming in with a "Thickness" of 4" in the properties palette (7th option in General area of properties). The Global width is set to 0 and it shows correctly in a 2d plan view, but a 4" thickness if I do a 3dorbit.

Any unpublished system or drawing variable that allows you to toggle to the classic grips on a curve-fit polyline? I have searched online and checked with our reseller but we have been unable to find a way to switch to the historic grips that are available on a curve-fit polyline.

We use only polyline when drawing. Plinetype is set to 0.
First problem is with J (join) command. Sometimes when we try to join different polylines it kills a vertex. Example if i have two polylines (they are not joined) that forms a rectangle it will join them but kill one vertex and turn it into triangle. This dosen't happen all the time.
Second problem i figured a way round for the problem above, if i use the pedit command and then use j the above problem never happens. But instead (also not every time) it turns the joined polyline into lwpolyline. So its all pretty anoing as we have to use convertoply.
Is there some other command than plinetype to resolve his problem.

Our customer send us drawing with ellipse into.With Autocad 2008 I bought a plug-in call SplineConvert that did the job perfectly but not compatible with 2013.
Is there any plugin that could replace that tool ?
Is there any standard ACAD command that could easily do this Job ?
I need a way to make 2 or 3 times per week this converting on all ellipses of large and detail 2D drawings so no time to offset in and out all those .
I try also DXFOUT in R12 but all the spline are being converted into 3d polyline making a huge files that froze my PC.
I also try FLATTEN but did not see how it work , the ellipse stay an ellipse.
