how the area calculation works for finding the square footage of a dwg.
I can easily get a rough estimate of square footage on L X W....but when i use the area measuring tool, i get total inches and a total sq foot estimate of 1.7xxxxx which i don't understand.
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....
View 6 Replies View RelatedI used to be able to obtain the sqare footage of an area with the AREA command. A list would generate about seven or eight lines, listing the square footage, inches, perimeter etc.
Now all i see is one line; the area/perimeter (see attachment). Did i change a setting somewhere to obtain this simplify version of the AREA cmd? Something is not right...
I tried the MASSPROP and MEASURE GEOM, those will not show the square footage. This used to be so easy, what am i missing...

I need to calculate square footage quickly. I am currently polylining everything. Here is what I need to do quicker:
Calculate square feet of each room with these requirements:
- When meeting a hallway to the outside face of the wall
- when next to an adjoining space, to the midpoint of the wall
- When against an outer wall, going to the face of the wall.
now i know this is possible because i did it once before with 2012 but now i can't remember

When I right-click the dwg name in the Settings tab of Toolspace and choose Edit Drawing Settings, then Ambient Settings, I see the Area settings, but in the closure summary, there is also "Square Area". Why are these both there? It WOULD be nice to show sq. ft. as well as acres, but I can't find anywhere to edit it.

I don't use the area calculation tool that much. I was just working out a large area for concrete. I use TOOLS - INQUIRY - AREA. Thats all fine and it gives me the area, for instance, to keep it simple 4900 x 9000 = 44.10m² AutoCad displays it as 44100000. I know it's not a major problem, but is there anyway I can get it to display as 44.10 or at least lose all the zeros.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to that I can very quickly measure the remaining square footage on a floor plan and/or equipment cabinet on a regular base. I have been working with AutoCAD for over 10 years so I am well aware of the typical command such as Distance, Measure & Area. I am wondering if with the latest AutoCAD 2013 there is a new command to do this faster.

i've got a lisp-routine that calulates multiple area's and put the sum in text in the drawing on the place i select.
the sum has to be devided with 1000000 so that it is in m2.

I would like to be able to draw squares by the area they should have. So that if I need a square of 50m2 autocad automatically draws a square of sqrt(50) x sqrt(50)
Because right now I have to draw 200 squares with 100 different areas and I have to calculate and manually draw each one of them.
Is there a way to get the Area option of the rectangle command to work in square feet rather than square inches?

Like if I wanted to offset something equally on each side of a mid-point I could start the offset command then for distance I could put in the distance I wanted/2 (ie if the total distance between the 2 lines needed to be 85.375 i I could do 87.357/2). Is there some setting that I am missing or is this something that has disappeared from Acad?

I have a requirement to create a block with a few attributes, but the attributes require a bit of composition behind the scenes. Here's an abstract example.
I need a block that represents a computer's identity. Each computer has 2 references that need to result in attributes that I can extract. One attribute is a unique reference across the project, and the other attribute is a room reference, and many computers can be in the same room.
Here are some example references.
Computer A
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.01
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer B
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.02
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer C
Unique Reference: DF.SALES.03
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Computer D
Unique Reference: DF.ADMINISTRATION.01
Room Reference: DG.ADMINISTRATION.02
Computer E
Unique Reference: DF.ADMINISTRATION.02
Room Reference: DG.ADMINISTRATION.02
As you can see from the above, the 'common' part for a computer is the middle 'SALES' or 'ADMINISTRATION' part, which 'technically' only needs to be put in/typed in by the user once for each computer. I need to automate this process to reduce user input error, such that they only enter 'SALES' or 'ADMINISTRATION' once and don't end up creating the below, which would be invalid.
Computer F
Unique Reference: DF.RECEPTION.09
Room Reference: DG.SALES.07
Thus I imagine I need a third property/field/attribute to specify 'room', and then formulate the Unique Reference and Room References, using this 'room' part in the middle.
The end goal here is that I need to be able to extract the above two references for each 'computer/block' and get them into Excel, and I need to be able to modify the 3 properties (room, unique reference and room reference) quickly, ideally using something like EATTEDIT, which is how we have edited attributes in the past.
The use case above is abstracted, it's actually not for computers at all but I figured it would make more sense than complicating it with the actual application!

2nd principal: -181.2 MPa....... SF =2.67
So, how is inventor getting 1.33 ?
EDIT: if I set it to calculate from yield ( 260 MPa) it accurately reports SF = 260/323=0.8
