Hi all I have a question I hope someone can help me with, I am a new user to autocad lt
I have a .dwg file that has 488 closed objects I need to know the total sum of the area for all closed objects
I don't really want to have to use the line function for every single object to get each individual area then add them all together on a calculator.
I was hoping there would be a quicker method for this i need to know the total area of all 488 objects added together.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Use JOIN command to connect segments into polylines
Use REGION command on all connected polylines of interest
Use MASSPROP command on all regions of interest
Works better than the AREA - ADD - OBJECT method becasue with the above, you can use a window to select
Dear...
your question is to calculate all objectes area in one Command......
its very simple......if you have multiple objects and you get sum area (means Total Area) of all objects, then the method is that you can use command
"AreaM"
Before applying the commond of AreaM First you can do some simple steps
1. You have one file of AreaM (I WILL SEND YOU THIS FILE and GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS)
2. if you have Autocade 2015 version you will go "Manage" title bar of autocad
3.Click Load application icon
4. Load AreaM File and close the box
5. finally you can apply this command on you own purpose
Note: Every new Cadfile you want to get Value of area, first you will upload AreaM file.
I attached AreaM File in this post....
thanks
At the command line type AREA
Now press A (ADD)
Now press O (OBJECT).
You can carry on adding as many objects as you want, you will notice at the command line the total area of your objects

Thank you for the elegant answer. Simple, straightforward, and no LISP for AutoCAD LT users like myself.

Is there a way to have the Total be divided by 144?
At the command line type "MODEMACRO" and then enter this exactly as shown followed by enter
"area= "$(/,$(getvar,area),144)
then when you use the area command as shown in the comments above the results will be divided by 144 and shown on your status bar just below the command line
EDIT
for LT anyway, and it only works in the current session.
