Area Properties page (Info dialog box)
- Global
-
Displays the global area properties for the closed boundary.
- Total Area
-
Displays the total area of all selected boundaries in the current document units.
- Perimeter
-
Displays the perimeter of the area, including external and internal loops.
- Center Of Area
-
Displays the coordinates for the center of area with respect to the drawing view coordinate system.
-
X: x coordinate
-
Y: y coordinate
-
- Mass Moments Of Inertia
-
Displays the six principal mass moments of inertia with respect to the global origin and global axes.
-
Ixx: Moment of inertia of mass about x axis
-
Ixy: Product of inertia of mass with respect to x and y axes
-
Iyy: Moment of inertia of mass about y axis
-
- Principal
-
Displays the principal area properties for the closed boundary.
- Angle
-
Displays the angle between the Global Mass Moments of Inertia and the Principal Moments of Inertia.
- Orientation Of Axes
-
Displays the direction cosines of the principal axes with respect to the view coordinate system.
-
X: x axis vector
-
Y: y axis vector
-
- Moments Of Inertia
-
Displays the principal moments of inertia with respect to the principal axes.
-
Ipxx: Moment of inertia with respect to the Principal Moment X-Axis.
-
Ipyy: Moment of inertia with respect to the Principal Moment Y-Axis.
-
- Drawing view scale
-
Applies a user-defined scale value, or displays the default sheet scale of 1:1.
If model geometry is selected to create a persistent area object, then the drawing view scale is displayed but cannot be changed. The inverse of the scale is used to calculate the returned values.
- Preview
-
For the Fill and Coordinate System pages, displays a preview of the area based on the current properties. This option does not apply to the Area Properties page.
- Copy To Clipboard
-
Copies the data on the Area Properties page to the Clipboard so that you can paste the data into a preferred text editor or spreadsheet.
