Adding vertex to dynamic block (rectange or polyline)

Hello,

 

I use dynamic block that calculates area of the figure. But I have come to a problem that I can't make irregular form (with more vertexes than specified since the origin of block). 

 

Example: Rectangle block

I would like to be able to add vertex, ass it is before making the block. Like this:

Look forward to hearing from you,

Thank you in advance!

You could use visibility states for the number of vertices of the object.  You can then use the area of the closed polyline as the field value.

Thank you for the advice! Altought it might help, i was looking to find easier (faster) solution. 

 

But i will try it, and if it works for me, i will accept it as solution.

Is having it as a dynamic block adding unnecessary complication?  Would it be simpler to have a normal block with a polyline and a bit of text using a field to report the pline's area.

 

You could then simply REFEDIT and PEDIT the polyline and have the text return the measurement.
