Hi @mehsan

That would be the case when you select two rectangles of the same length, but it is not showing the cumulative area it's showing the area of the individual rectangle as both are of the same length.

To get the cumulative area of the rectangle use the attached lisp 🙂

have you tried the AREA command? "AREA", "A" (for Add), "O" (for objects). You can also subtract objects.

Other commands that may help with your process - creating boundaries.

That should be "of the same area" rather than "of the same length," in both instances. Two rectangles can be of the same length without being of the same area, in which case Properties would show a number in the Length slot [assuming you mean the length of the perimeter], but would list the Area as "Varies."
