How to Manipulate an object and still keep its Area?

Is there a command where I can stretch an object and keep its Area. Like a baseball when hit turns into an oval however keeps its same mass.
Not like the Stretch command that infinitely stretchs an object.

Hi,
Sorry no, you can't (with AutoCAD), especially the situation with the ball means you have to convert a circle to a ellipse (and even that is not true).
A similar question was >>>here<<<, it's no solution but hopefully a food for thought.

Hi,
>> Parametric is an unknown command
I guess you have a ribbon called "Parametric", plus: >>>overview from the help<<<

One of the solution I can imagine is a routine/procedure which scales the streched/transformed object to its original area.

well, maybe. just keep in mind that AREA is not a property, it's a result of the object dimensions and geometry.
