Summary: Layer Properties Manager: Indicate total length, total area, number of objects with appropriate field for inclusion in text.
Description: Layer Properties Manager:
Could we please enable the layer properties manager to indicate other relevant information such as total length of lines on a layer, total area of hatch / closed poly lines and total number of objects on the layer. The appropriate field should also be included in the fields list for inclusion in text on the drawing. We draw various elements such as water, sewer and storm water lines of varying diameters, kerbs of various types and roads of various widths. The inclusion of these parameters would greatly increase the speed of quantifying the work that has to be carried out. At the moment we use extract or run a query but this is not as instant as fields and the extraction file often becomes disassociated with the drawing. Alternatively another palette could introduced indicating this information for inclusion in a schedule of quantities. Thanking you. Regards Ralph
