How to quickly calculate the area of one or more closed objects in ZWCAD?

Solution

ZWCAD offers several quick ways to find the area of closed objects, whether you need to calculate a single area or find the total area of multiple objects.

For a Single Area

Solution 1: Use the Properties Panel.

Simply select a single closed object and view its area directly in the Properties panel (Ctrl+1).

Solution 2: Use the Area Command.

Go to the menu and select Tools > Inquiry > Area. Follow the command prompts to select the object and get its area.

For Multiple Areas

Solution 3: Get the Total Area.

To find the combined area of multiple objects, use the Total Area function. Go to Tools > Inquiry > Total Area.

Solution 4: List Each Area Separately.

If you need a list of each individual area, use the List function. Go to Tools > Inquiry > List.

Solution 5: Use Hatch Objects.

Add a hatch to your closed objects. When you select the hatch object, its total area will be displayed in the Properties panel.

Solution 6: Create an Area Table.

Use the Area Table function to automatically generate a table that records the area of selected objects. You can also choose to display the total sum of all the areas.
