Area dialog box missing out

[Anonymous]

Dear, 

        During my working in Autocad 2016 when I apply the area command and select the object of the desired area, the area appears for the very little time and suddenly missing out. Regarding solution, I apply again the area command to check the area.

Which Program? Area command of AutoCAD never had a dialog window.

Hi,

>>  the area appears for the very little time and suddenly missing out. <<

This is unusual AutoCAD  area command. please confirm that you're NOT using a lisp command or outsource plugins .

Command: AREA
Specify first corner point or [Object/Add area/Subtract area] <Object>: o
Select objects:
Area = 25.0000, Perimeter = 20.0000

Regards,

Or you´re working with dynamic input, and the Information disappearing from the Cursor?

I don't no why, but you can read the information from Textwindow[F2] too.

As Workaround, display last "area" value from system varaible AREA into the statusbar:

Command: (setvar "MODEMACRO" "LastAreaValue: $(rtos,$(getvar,area),2,15)")

why not open the _PROPERTIES window and read your values from there?

Dear,

        could you please tell me whether this result can get in Sft instead of a square inch. 

Kindly find the attached file.

I'm not so familiar with imperial units, but divide by 144 sounds good, right?

Modemacro
LastAreaValue: $(/,$(getvar,area),144.0) sq.ft

Dear,

         One little issue facing is that Is it this code is applied for whole AutoCAD setting.

because when I close AutoCAD and reopen it this code does not work.

find the attached file.

Modemacro value is temporary, yes

Look for a way to set it by Autocad or Document Start
