Can CAD automatically calculate the area of the drawn shape? Where is it? How was it calculated?
It’s possible. First, convert the area of the shape you need into a region; if you’re not sure how to do that, check out this link: http://www.jxcad.com.cn/thread.php?fid=144. Then use the list command to select the region you just created. The results are then displayed. Both area and perimeter are available.

The area command will do. If your irregular closed shape is made up of scattered lines, use the bo command first to create the boundary, and then use area
Draw shapes using polylines; even if they are created as polylines, it is possible to view their perimeter and area in the properties. Last edited by langzi on 2008-3-3 15:25.]
Langzi is right; by defining it as a polyline, it can be viewed in the properties
