Hello,
I have recently started using "fArea.vlx" and it's a great tool for me. I just want to add an option of Pair-Wise Selection or Continuity mode.
e.g
- I select a source object
- then the Text or Attribute and "fArea.vlx" labels its property (length/Area).
and then closed.
But I want the command to remain active, so I can select the next source to label its properties. instead of repeating the command.
Thank you,
Regards,
Sidhu

There is no need for a special mode - fArea can be repeated indefinitely just by pressing Space or Enter (like other commands). A new version now adds also an automatic label).

Sir,
I do need that special mode :)
since I am working on General Layouts which are full of hatches and other information. and fArea takes 3-5 seconds to reload (even I turn off/freeze the layers).
that's why I want the command activated.
Thank you,
Regards,
Sidhu

There is no need to reload the application (it remains loaded). Or do you mean that just running the fArea command again takes 5 seconds to its first prompt? That's strange - there are no calculations performed.

Sir,
May be I am unable to explain my requirement.
Loading the app with "AP" Command is different thing. (definitely it will remain loaded)
I am running the program by typing "farea" in commandline and I want the program activated/running and prompt to select next object after labeling the properties of the first selected object.
Hope you got my point this time.
Regards,
Sidhu
