Area

The ‘Area Stamp’ tool calculates the area of a closed group of elements.

To use the ‘Area Stamp’ tool:

• Select the ‘Area Only’ command from the ‘Dimension’ ribbon
• Select an element of the shape for which the area will be calculated. Or, select an element of multiple areas to calculate the total area.
• Press ‘Enter’ or ‘Confirm’ to confirm the selection. The calculated area(s) will appear highlighted in red.
• Now, click or tap on the canvas to place the area stamp.
• The function runs in a loop. Repeat from step 2, or confirm/cancel to end the function.

*These elements do not need to be closed polylines, simply groups of elements.
The color of elements is not changed by using this function.
