Description

The FigArea command displays the 2D surface area of selected items. It works on a variety of items, including Survey Figures, Feature Lines, Parcels, Polylines, and 3D-Polylines.

Usage

Type FigArea at the command line and select items on the screen. Right-click or hit ENTER when you are done.

Note that this command will return an area for polylines and figures that are not closed. This area is determined by adding a closing line to the figure, which may or may not be useful for your purposes. The return value will notify you if the figure is not closed.

Example 1:

In the image below, the tennis courts are defined by a Survey Figure.

Selecting the figure yields the following result:

Example 2:

Note that the curb flowline indicated below is not a closed figure.

This still returns an area, but the result contains a warning that the figure was not closed:
