Calculate Area

You can outline multiple areas and calculate the square areas in square feet or square meters.

• Click on the Tools/Calculate Area menu item

• Left click on as many points as necessary to outline an area to calculate.

• When done, Click again in the same place.

The area is filed with a hash fill, and the area and the current total area are shown.

Continue with another area, or click the Right mouse button when done.

The current total area is saved. You can enter it in your plan at any time from the Insert Text  dialog. (There is a button for the Last Area Calculation, that is enabled only when this number is greater than zero)

If a current area calculation exists when you start the routine, you are asked if you want to add to it, or start over.

NOTE: To display the latest area calculation on your plan

• Click the Text button on the Left Toolbar
• Click the "Last Area Calculation" button on the Text screen
• Edit the text if applicable
• Click the OK  button
• Position the text in your plan.

The "Last Area Calculation" button is only active if there is a total in memory.
