fAREA

Resort to this handy AutoCAD extension in order to create dynamic area labels, property labels, as well as length labels when drawing objects

The ever-expanding array of plugins that pop out online on a regular basis is one of the reasons AutoCAD manages to remain such a competitive software solution.
One such tool that brings enhancements to this program is fAREA, which serves a rather specific purpose, namely that of helping you handle various kinds of labels.
The AutoCAD extension is capable of generating labels or text fields when drawing objects. As for the nature of the generated labels, it should be pointed out that they come in the form of new Text objects, as existing Block, Text, or MText objects that support modifications, or as automatically centered labels.
What fAREA can do is create an acreage label for a region or hatch. Aside from that, it can handle a selected polyline object, with the [M] option being designed to label the total area of multiple objects. Note that, in this particular situation, the label remains dynamic.
As for the LIST variables associated with this AutoCAD extension, the following are available for you to take a look at: _FAREAPREC, with its default being LUPREC, _FAREAFACTOR, with the corresponding default 1.0, _FAREASUFFIX, featuring the default "m2" and setq _FAREASUFFIX with "mm2."
