Field command using multiple? 2020

[robert.danskin]

I have multiple rooms on multiple floors with a pline around each room.  I have discovered the field command, and love the way it works, however, it would take me forever to pick each room individually.  Is there a way to select multiple plines and have autocad 2020 place the sq footage in the middle of each pline?  eliminating the need to place the sq footage manually?

Like this free LISP http://www.lee-mac.com/areastofield.html
or this http://www.lee-mac.com/arealabel.html
Or something else?

Use the one posted in msg #2. The rest was modified to work with HATCHes.

In case you haven't used a LISP routine yet, HERE is the a short tutorial of what to do with that.

Thank you, by message 2, do you mean Areas to field and Area Label? If so, Areas to field is close to what I need, however, it appears I would still have to click on each field location to show the area of a pline. I have literally hundreds of rooms per floor, I am trying to avoid having to pick on each one individually. Are you aware of a routine that would allow me to pick multiple plines with a crossing or window and have the area field placed in the center of each pline?

Thank you

No, I meant in the thread I linked.

Looks like you are directing me to PLArea? I am a newbie when it comes to lisp, do I simply copy the text for the routine and save it as a *.lsp, appload it and run it? Am I on the right track?

Thank you for your help
