Using

The plugin calculates the total area of selected polylines, circles, arcs, splines, and hatches. Objects can be selected either before launching the plugin or while the plugin window is open. Calculation results are displayed in the plugin window:

The upper part of the plugin window displays the total area of the selected objects, the multiplier, the scale, and the final area calculated using the multiplier and scale. The final value field cannot be edited manually. Clicking it copies the final value to the clipboard.

When applying a scale to an area, it is important to note that the area changes proportionally to the square of the scale factor, not linearly. For example, if the area is 100 at a scale of 1:1, it will be 25 at a scale of 1:2, not 50.

When entering multiplier and scale values manually, either a period or a comma can be used as the decimal separator.

Closed objects only – when enabled, the plugin processes only objects that form a closed contour.

The contents of the Area by objects section, as well as the blocks for individual object types, can be collapsed and expanded using the buttons on the right side of the corresponding headers.
