Hi,
maybe somebody can explain to me what this area calculation is doing - till now I haven't understood it ...
The QCAD Changelog anouncment mentioned a new Property Feature: Property Editor: Show total area of mixed selection of polylines, arcs and circles.
Ok, if I select something like three arcs it tells me "a" Total Area. What I don't understand is which area is covered with that number ...
In my example I thought the Property Editor tells me the sum of this three segments ....
... but if I countercheck with the Info tool that doesn't add up.
Then I thought it will built a perimeter around the selection and the Property Editor compute that area ...
... but that won't match the number too.
Long story short - what "Total Area" is compute by the Property Editor?

Re: Snapshot 3.24.3.7 / Property Editor / Total area of mixed selection
For arcs, the area is the area of the sector, not the segment.
Re: Snapshot 3.24.3.7 / Property Editor / Total area of mixed selection
Thanks for clarification. I'm sure that is only me but I don't know how somebody could imagine that the sectors are used for the "Total Area".
Again - knowledge is power.
Anyway, after that info I tested a line / polyline combination ...
... and the "Total Area" is only calculated for the area which I later marked with a hatch.
Again - confusing to me. Looks like my understanding for a "Total Area" is different .....

Re: Snapshot 3.24.3.7 / Property Editor / Total area of mixed selection
Hmm.. what area would you expect for a line segment?
The "total" properties (total area, total length) simple sum up all the individual areas / lengths of all selected entities. No magic
