Hi,
What is the best method to calculate the area of plate?
I am not interested in the total surface area of a plate, rather the area of the polyline used to create the shape. The area of coverage.
It appears the SECTAREA field in the drawing partlist & partlist database will give this value, in square centimetres. Is this this best way to calculate plate area? Is there anyway to deliver the area in square meters, rather than square centimetres?
Thanks for any help.
you can multiply in the formula by values like SECTAREA*100.
For Drawingpartlist is a little different, the variables are different a little and the formulas.
the example was for another case, you would have to multiply *100

Thanks Johannes.
How do I enable the formula field in the drawing partlist editor?
