    Area within block as an attribute

    Here is the problem:

    I'm detailing many shapes made of plates. I want to create a block with attributes as follows:

    NO.
    Name
    Area

    Then, I want to export it to csv file and import to MSExcell to make part list.

    Area*thickness=volume
    volume*density=mass of each element

    Is it possible to put area of an object (i.e. polyline) as an attribute to a block?
    I know that I can put FIELD in a block with attributes with "Area" property of an object. But only in full AutoCAD 2006 not in LT

    When I check properties of an object there is Area property - Can I export it outside AutoCAD?

    Thanks for any kind of help.
