Hi,

please attach an example drawing which shows this effect. Thanks.

BTW: The Property Manager will give you also that information.

Hi J-J, thanks, that's right, in other pc s works fine
(and in my notebook, works 6 month before) i used a lot.

So it's an issue in my particular installation (no general problem).

Thanks anyway

I'd recommend to try resetting your QCAD configuration. Optionally, you might want to backup your old QCAD3.ini file first and then post it here if that turns out to be the problem, so we can look into what caused the problem.

I seem to be having the same issue. QCAD populates

Version 3.27.1.0 Community Edition

It is happening on two platforms, Toughbook w/ Windows 10 Pro
Desktop with Windows 10 Pro.

I've attached a super simple example. I get Total length, no Area.
Polyline Test.dxf
(23.8 KiB) Downloaded 252 times
Polyline Area command gives same results

Help? Thanks!!! I need this command!

Followed above suggestion to no avail. Attaching ini file

I can confirm that this only gets calculated in QCAD Professional. These properties and tools will be removed from QCAD CE in the next release.

For polylines without arc segments, you could use Info > Polygonal Area instead.

Thank you Andrew. I looked for verification of it not being included in CE but couldn't find it.

I will use the other tool. It works!!

Thank you.
