Use this command to inquire an arbitrary 3D planar area enclosed by boundary curves.  The boundary curves may consist of 3D/2D curves, partial or whole sketch and/or trace profiles, edges or curve lists. All boundary geometry must lie on the same plane.

 

Any combination of these is supported.  Nested boundaries are also supported. The reference point (0.0, 0.0) is transformed to the profile plane in 3D space.

 

The selected boundary is highlighted in red for clarity. The reference point and centroid, along with the plane they lie on are also shown in the form of colored local object frames (red for the reference point frame and white for the centroid). The area inertia data cluster is then calculated relative to these local frames.

 

You can optionally log all output data to a user specified variable name with suffixes automatically attached. The variables can then be used in any expression, equation or VX macro.  You can also save the data to a text file.

 

 

 

Use this command to inquire an arbitrary 2D area enclosed by boundary curves. The boundary curves may consist of sketch or drawing sheet curves. Drawing sheet curves may be part of a layout view.

 

Select the entities that define a closed area and then specify an interior point. If you select multiple closed areas and want to inquire another area pick Yes and specify another interior point. You can also save the data to a text file.
