Hi.
This cuold be a very stupid question, but before buying I'd like to know 2 things.
1. When drawing a polygon; let's say a rectangle, will I be able to establish the lines measurements?
2. Is there a way to automatically get the area?
eg: I draw a rectangle which measuremets are 3 M wide and 6 M large, the obvious area result should be 18 square meters.
Thanks for your response.

Re: Areas
Yes, you would usually do that with the dimensioning tool. Dimensions are drawing elements that show for examples the length of a line.LuisC-SM wrote: 1. When drawing a polygon; let's say a rectangle, will I be able to establish the lines measurements?

No, not fully automatically. You would have to use the tool 'Info' - 'Polygonal Area' and then click the four corners of your rectangle.LuisC-SM wrote: 2. Is there a way to automatically get the area?
