AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate Area Using Polyline - Calculation Not In Square Feet?

Dec 16, 2013

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....

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Calculate 2D Area In SDF?

Jan 27, 2011

i created new polygon´s SDF (ACAD Civil,Map2011). And created new feature from geometry (from 2 closed plines - island). See on attached picture. If polygons are more complex =erroneous result from calculation ("Round ( Area2D ( Geometrie ), 0 ) "). It means ACAD  calculate sum 2 areas together, but It should dedust island from main polygon.

AutoCad :: Calculate Square Mm Of Area?

Nov 5, 2013

If I want to calculate the square mm of an area, how do I do so? I know this should be really simple but I can't get the results I want. Let's say I have a rectangle (2D) and I draw somew circles and polylines within it that are 'cut out' from the rectangle....how does one calcualte the remaining square mm?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Calculate Multiple Polyline Areas?

Mar 6, 2003

I have a drawing which contains about 100 "areas". These areas are closed polylines. I would like to get a total area of all these polylines.

I have tried using AutoCAD 2002's AREA command, but I am only able to select one item at a time, (AREA, Add, Object). This is fine for calculating a few areas. It gives me a running total of each item that I select.

Using the LIST command works OK for a few items, but you still have to wade through all the other information to get the area info for each item.

Is there a way to select crossing ALL the areas that I have, and have it return a total?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Calculate Paint Area?

Jun 8, 2012

How do you calculate paint area?

We do a lot of chutes (for mining).  They need to be painted on the outside only.  They also need to be lined with rubber sheet on the inside.  The area given in the physical tab in iProperties is the total area.

The area of the edges of the plates are small enough that we can ignore them, but is there a way to calculate half the model's area and get that result in the drawing in a text note?

We've only recently switched over to Inventor (used to be on Solidworks, where we had the same problem).

AutoCad 2D :: How To Calculate Area Of Curved Line

Jul 9, 2013

I have a bench which I have drawn in CAD, and I want to calculate the area.

The bench is a sort of "S" shape.

In the past I have only calculated the areas of straight objects and so have been able to pick points, but i'm not sure how to go about it when the object includes a curve.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Map - Calculate Area-proportional (weighted) Average Out Of Metadata

Aug 6, 2012

I have an acad document connected to some .shp files, which contain polygonal shapes with some meta-tags.

I want to achieve the following: draw a polygonal shape and select all the tangent areas (I already know how to do so)take a property of those areas and calculate an area-proportional [or: area weighted] average value  (proportional to the partial area defined by the drawn polygonal shape). I tried to achieve this by splitting the objects and merging them again with defined splitting (area proportional) and merging (average) options. The problem is: splitting & merging doesn't work until I disconnect the data files (checking the objects out doesn't work) and even then I can't split the areas. And, more important: This doesn't create a weighted average and I don't even want to manipulate the objects! I just want to get one value out of all these steps.

I appended a screenshot of my file. E.g. I want to take the value 923.2 and multiply it with the corresponding area percentage it represents in the drawn shape. So the calculation would look something like 0.02*923.2 + 0.2*926 + 0.12*945,9 [...] until all the 100% are covered and I get one single representative value.

I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 on an Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM, 64bit Win 7 Pro SP 1 PC.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculate AREA Of Cut And Fill Between Alignment And Surface Profile?

Aug 18, 2013

How to calculate the AREA of cut and fill analogous to the volume of cut and fill between surfaces, but instead only between the alignment and the road profile in the prolfile view. From what I've read of similar posts a few people have had the same question but have been instructed how to do it with volumes as opposed to area. Also how to insert a table of cut and fill area analogous to the one you can inset from the volumes dashboard.

AutoCad :: Calculate Large Areas Using Fills - Hatch Not Showing Area

Jul 10, 2009

I've been trying to calculate large areas using fills but I keep encountering a problem with some of the hatches not showing an area and thus ruining my calculation. I've found out that I can correct it by removing certain crossing point between lines as is shown below in my screenshots. Is there any reason this is causing a particular problem and can I avoid it to save me having to go back over my hatches checking for these malformed hatches?

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 ..

AutoCAD 2013 :: AREA Of Closed Polyline Is In Sq In First THEN Sq Ft

Oct 31, 2013

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 Civil 3D :: Label Area Without Creating Closed Polyline / Parcel

Mar 29, 2012

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??
