Calculating Area (square meters) of Plate...

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.
