I want to know if VectorWorks has a command or tool similar to the boundary or hatch tools included in AutoCAD. For now, I simply create an "areas" layer and use the polygon tool to trace out my lawn space, pavers, concrete, flower beds, etc. so I can place good looking hatchs or fills and include bidding information for my clients. I find this tedious and time consuming but see no other way to do it. If all this time I have been wasting time, someone please let me know. I should also say that these are not, of course, objects created with a tool that automatically calculates its area - like a polygon, polyline, rectangle or circle. It's normally a combination of arcs, ploygons, polylines, etc on the boundaries of the spaces I want to measure and area for. How do you all come up with these measurements?
