trying to find area 1

[jrice174]

I'm creating a VB program to extract AutoCAD data to a spreadsheet. Some of the information I need is area that is surrounded by a group of lines. I'm trying to do this with no user interaction. What's the best way to go about this? Area? Boundary?

I'd use area if the lines are joined into a polyline.

I agree w/ IFRs, make it a polyline and use area command.

Hey J Rice....

Do you know where I can get a vb / lisp / arx prog that can sum the lengths of all the lines on a particular layer?

If I Isolate the Face of Curb layer - there maybe 40 - 250 line segments on that layer. But for Quantity I need a routine that will sum their lengths... got anything like that?

thanks GB

A routine for that was posted in this forum:
