&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: CadetBlue"&gt; AreaAnnotator&amp;trade;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
AreaAnnotator&amp;trade; is a helper utility developed by &lt;a href="http://www.la-solutions.co.uk" target="_blank"&gt;LA Solutions&lt;/a&gt;.
It assists with area measurement and annotation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; works with MicroStation tag elements.
When you tag a measurable area element, such as a &lt;em&gt;shape&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;complex shape&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;ellipse&lt;/em&gt;, 
&lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; automatically measures its area and updates the relevant tag.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
What's more, when you modify that shape, &lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; notices the change and re-measures the shape's area, then updates the tag to show the new measurement.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
You can specify the appearance of measurements.
For example, you may want to see the area of a room expressed in square feet rather than square inches,
or in square metres rather than square millimetres &amp;mdash; &lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; can perform that conversion for you automatically.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; is available for various versions of MicroStation, from V8.1 to V8i.
&lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt; continues to be developed by its originators, 
&lt;a href="http://www.la-solutions.co.uk" target="_blank"&gt;LA Solutions&lt;/a&gt;.
It is provided &lt;span style="color: DarkGreen"&gt; free&lt;/span&gt; (or, legally speaking, LA Solutions grants you a zero-cost license to use &lt;em&gt;AreaAnnotator&lt;/em&gt;),
with no restrictions on its use.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
For more information, browse the &lt;a href="http://www.la-solutions.co.uk/content/AreaAnnotator.htm" target="_blank"&gt;LA Solutions&lt;/a&gt; website.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="color: RoyalBlue"&gt; FlexiTable&amp;trade;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
If you  are interested in reporting areas and other measurements, then take a look at
&lt;a href="http://www.la-solutions.co.uk/content/FlexiTable.htm" target="_blank"&gt;FlexiTable&lt;/a&gt;&amp;trade;.
&lt;em&gt;FlexiTable&lt;/em&gt; is a data acquisition tool and schedule generator for MicroStation.
It lets you acquire information from various MicroStation sources &amp;mdash; including area measurements and tag data &amp;mdash; 
that it displays in a worksheet.  
You can save the worksheet in Excel format.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In other words, &lt;em&gt;FlexiTable&lt;/em&gt; provides a quick way to get information out of your DGN model.
It lets you place a graphic schedule from a worksheet in your DGN model.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;FlexiTable&lt;/em&gt; is a licensed product.  The &lt;em&gt;FlexiTable&lt;/em&gt; license cost is modest, but it's not free.
&lt;/p&gt;
