The command Area Table<\/b> allows for the automatic sizing and calculation of the area of closed objects, generating a table with the results directly in the technical drawing. This functionality, which has become an essential tool for structural engineering workflows, was introduced in LusoCAD 2020<\/b>.<\/p>

With this tool, areas or objects can be identified by an area number or symbol, with table data being generated simultaneously. One of the great advantages is the dynamism: the values in the table are automatically updated whenever the area number or size changes. Furthermore, data can be exported to text files or spreadsheet formats.<\/p>

How to access the Area Table command?<\/h3>

There are two main methods to activate this function in LusoCAD<\/b>:<\/p>

  • Command line<\/b> Type the command AREATABLE<\/code> and press Enter.<\/p><\/li>

  • Express Menu<\/b> Access via the path Express > Dimension > Area Table<\/b>.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    \"Area<\/p>

    Step-by-Step Tutorial<\/h3>

    To understand how it works in practice, follow this example:<\/p>

    1. Preparation:<\/b> Draw closed objects, such as a floor plan, on your workspace.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      \"Area<\/p>

      1. Activation<\/b> Enter the command AREATABLE<\/code> to open the \u201cTable of Areas\u201d configuration window.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

        \"Area<\/p>

        \"Area<\/p>

        1. Configuration:<\/b> To generate the table, ensure that the option Create Table<\/b> is selected. If you require the total summation of the areas, also activate the option Calculate Sum Area<\/b>. Click OK to confirm the settings.<\/p><\/li>

        2. Positioning<\/b> After closing the window, the software will prompt you to set the insertion pointTable Point<\/b>) or select an existing table to add data to (Select Table to Add<\/b>).<\/p><\/li>

        3. Object Selection:<\/b> After choosing the table location, use the option Object<\/b> and select the circles and ellipses one by one, in the desired order (e.g., from left to right).<\/p><\/li>

        4. Finishing<\/b> The table will appear instantly at the selected point, presenting all area calculations and identifiers.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>
