I am trying to measure an area within a line , the blue line but could be any of the colours in the image below.
I have tried selecting the line with the magic wand but it seems to only select a small segment at a time.
- how to select the whole line , and not just measure the area of the relatively thick line.

I am trying to measure the area of an office space within the stadium and keep getting a ridiculous figure - it keeps saying that it is something like 14 thousand square metres. Am I doing something wrong because it should be coming in somehwere near 150 sq metres?
Here is a screenshot:
I am responsible for populating a database in which one of the fields is the area of individual rooms in a building. The instructions indicated that I was to use polylines to enclose each room / area and to find the area based on these values.
Earlier this year, another student was hired to confirm the measurements on building blueprints. This student took accurate measurements of each room, however instead of correcting the drawings, he simply added override text to the dimensions. Therefore the displayed dimensions are correct but my area values using polylines are inaccurate.
The project that I'm working on includes a number of drawings and close to 1000 rooms. I downloaded a function I found online that allows me to figure out which dimensions were overridden by boxing them in a different colour and I've found that it is a significant ammount.
Is there a way to use these overridden dimensions, without altering the physical nature of the drawing, to find the area of a room?Need to use polylines to calculate area of many rooms. Dimensions have been overridden and are inaccurate. Can i use the overridden dimensions without altering the physical drawing?
So it isn't a major issue but I know how measure used to show a blue line when measuring between two faces or points that it measured (by default the closest distance) but ever since installing 2014 I no longer see those lines. Any setting somewhere or if that was just removed completely?

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.
Is it possible to insert a formula or is there an existing expression I could use to calculate area in acres from a General Overall Length line label if I input the width?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy the dashed line (view area) changes on a page layout between plotting to pdf and plotting dwg to pdf? I have a title block that measures 16.25 x 10.25 that will print fine to pdf (for 17x 11). This same block will not print completely when using dwg to pdf.
In creating the page layout for pdf (only)the offset is .125 x .125. Once created, if I use this layout and then choose dwg to pdf as my plotter I do not have the ability to "fit to paper"
In creating the page layout for dwg to pdf the offset is .228 x .70. When bringing in the title block at 0,0 there is no way for this block to fit inside the dashed viewing line. The amount that this block extends beyond the top dashed line is way beyond what is available at the bottom.

How can I use the bucket-fill option to fill an area surrounded by a dottedline?
The dotted line is a path; so if I use a line for the dots, the bucket-fillworks.
But how can I step back after filling to change the path's line into dotsagain?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've done a lot of web design with photoshop. Often times it's best to make a large picture and then cut it up into smaller pieces to fit the spreadsheet layout of an html page, but I've always found it very time consuming. I basically have to make rectangle marquees until I get the correct dimensions, usually making a conservative estimate, then zooming in to slowly count the pixels needed. Is there a way to type in a pixel number to automatically select to that point?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI`m currently using PS CS5 Extended to measure some objects in Vanishing Point (because I need the measurements to respect a certain perspective plane) and I`ve come across something that doesn`t seem right. I`ll try to describe it as best i can. I`m drawing my perspective plane based on a white reference square 60x60 cm. Then I calibrate the grid (with the measure tool) and when I extend the perspective towards the vanishing point (towards the small sides of the square) evething is fine, my calibration value does not change (as it should). But when I extend the perspective away from the vanishing point (towards the large sides of the square) my calibration value changes, it`s value increases. This is a HUGE problem for me as this influences all my subsequent measurements. It makes me question how correct the measurements really are. When I extend the grid the calibration value should NOT change. explain why this happens????

At random points of the day we have noticed that Photoshop will hang on measuring memory. We have noticed that this occurs any time an SVCHost process is running at more than 200k. We have tried to narrow down what exactly is causing the SVCHost to spike but have been unsuccessful. We have turned off windows update and virus scanning on those machine to no avail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI use Mtext quite a bit and I am trying to convince others in the office that it's a good thing (versus single line text in long paragraphs). One of their concerns in the shape of the Mtext. For instance, when you use Mtext, you type into a nice rectangle that you can change the size of. What they have to do on occassion is instead of having a nice rectangle of text, they have to make it like a triangle. So in this case, single line text can be adjusted so that the end of the sentences make an angle.
Is there a way to do this using mtext? Or is there an lsp that will work?
So I am measuring the 'red' 'green' and 'blue' values of a picture after I adjust the white balance with a grey card.. I notice that if I measure the colors from 'selected layer' they are different then if I select 'entire image' those are both different if i do not do any white balance adjustment..
Which is the correct measurement that I should record? I want the the white balance adjustment included.

I endlessly find that I have text line objects which I later wish had been proper text areas (because I want to control the size of their bounding box, for example).
Is there any sensible way to convert a text line object into a text area object - it's a bore to do it by creating a new text object and then cutting and pasting the text, and it is seemingly a trivial thing for the software to do automatically.
Alternatively, is there an option (perhaps a hidden one) to have all text objects created as areas rather than lines?
I've tried to measure the area of a road layout (that includes curves) and it is giving me a completely unrealistic answer (310,000m2 instead of 41,000m2). If I de-curve the lines, the area is about right, but the lines MUST remain curved for me to get the most accurate measurment. why curves aren't being measured properly, and is there a setting I can use to make sure this doesn't happen again?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI use the "M" measure command a lot, Is there any other good ways to dimension in assembly? I often need to know the distance between the edge of a part and another based on a fixed view, which if the two edges are straight and on the same plane works ok but I need to measure the height of two parts which are on different planes or the distance between arcs and curves as these tend to always work from the centers?
I need a command that will basically fix the plane to the current view to get the required dimensions, is there anything available?
Is there a button anywhere to measure a distance for 3 or more points. Not using the dist, area or measure commands. Similar to dist but with extra points?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you can imagine a cylinder sliding on curve joint. Let’s say the curve is in the XY plane. In the output grapher it is possible to display the force as the cylinder slides around the curve. However if I understand it correctly the magnitude of the force will be in the direction perpendicular to the point of contact between the cylinder and the curve? In which case is it possible to actually find out the individual X and Y components of the force? That is to say the magnitude of the force in the X or Y plane of the curve?
