Thank you very much for your reply. I downloaded this new file from the download section but i cannot understand how to use this function to measure and display the perimeter. I digited "farea" in the Autocad command section but I'm only able to measure area.......
Can you help me again? Thanks, Lorenzo |

Please type-in the FLENGTH command, pick your polyline and a sample (template) text. You can also specify the label text by start point, height and orientation. Please note that FAREA and FLENGHT only simplify the standard FIELD command in AutoCAD. |

Hi Vladimir,
thank you again but when I type "flength" command I see "unknown command". Please tell me whether my procedure to load "farea" is correct: - I downloaded from the "download" section, - go to "Tools" --> AutoLisp --> Load Application - Select "farea.vlx" and load Then typing "farea" it works great, but typing "flength" I see "Unknown command" in autocad command prompt....... Have I made some mistake? Thanks a lot! Lorenzo |

I am sorry - a typo: should be "FLENGTH" (the prompts are the same as in FAREA)

Hi Vladimir,
I don't want to bother you... really, but I tried "FLENGHT", "FLENGTH" etc..... and I see "Unknown command" while the "farea" command works perfectly.... Do you know why? Regards, Lorenzo |

Are you sure you are using the latest (the updated) version of FArea.vlx from February?
It should sign on as:
FAREA+FLENGTH commands loaded. (C)2009, XANADU - www.xanadu.cz
______ CAD, PLM, GIS/FM custom application development _______ |
