Quick area label by clicking inside boundaries.

Using the BParea utility use can quickly create an area label (acreage). Download the BParea add-on tool from www.cadstudio.cz/download, load the VLX file with APPLOAD and run the BPAREA command.

Click inside the individual area boundaries and specify (the second click) the label position. The tool creates a dimension (leader) with an area label. You can specify a prefix, suffix, number of displayed decimal places and a conversion factor for the calculated value. See the Readme for parameters.
