Hello! I want to create a tool where I can click on a hatch or closed polyline and then a block would be generated that can be inserted wherever you want by the user. The block would contain the area (SqFt in this case) of the hatch. It would be dynamic and associated with that hatch so that when the shape changes the area in the block would also update. In addition, I'd like to create a multiplier (formula) accessible through a dropdown in the block which would give a different value based on a formula using the multiplier and hatch area. The goal is to rapidly determine plant unit quantities based on area of planting bed x spacing of plants using the formula and have that all visible and dynamic in the annotation block.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start with this project? Maybe there is already a block or LSP out there that already comes close to this that I can modify? Thank you!
