What could be the easiest method to get a table of data which has an area of the zones? DWG attached!

Looking at the complexity of the plan you are the one who'll need to define each ZONE.

First draw PLINEs to define each Zone.

Then for your Zone label use a Block with 2 Attributes: ZONE # label and Area.

You can always try out my Area Object Link (AOL) app which uses FIELDS to complete the Zone label process.

This way anytime the PLINEs defining the Zone changes the Areas update automatically.

Next use AutoCAD's built-in DX command (short for DATAEXTRACTION) to gather the zone block with attributes to generate a Table showing each ZONE & the Areas.

Now whenever you make changes to the ZONE & Areas, you can right mouse click on the Table & Update

Personally I would use the same method as paullimapa mention above with a couple of changes.

If this is all you have  to work from and there is no other layers to turn off, I would create a copy of the plan and delete all the furniture, carpet, etc etc.

I would then draw a simple line at the threshold of each zone and then use boundary and set the object type to polyline. Once finished creating the boundaries I would move them over to the existing plan. Then proceed with the rest of what paullimapa mentioned.

I think this would be a quicker method then picking each point to create a polyline.

Ask nicely who sent the dwg to you to do the right thing and send the dwg multi layered. yeah so much to delete.
