hello
How to Find Area and Perimeter of a Closed LWPolygon in cadpicturebox?

double distance_between_points = DPoint.Distance(point1, point2);

CADLWPolyLine vLWPolyline = new CADLWPolyLine();
   CADEntityCollection vertices = vLWPolyline.Vertexes;

Thank you Catherine
I wrote this function and put it in the form so that others can use it

public class Point3D
{
public double X { get; set; }
public double Y { get; set; }
public double Z { get; set; }
public Point3D()
{
this.X = 0;
this.Y = 0;
this.Z = 0;
}
}

private double CalculateAreaPolygon(List<Point3D> Points)
{
double Sum1 = 0;
double Sum2 = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < Points.Count; i++)
{
if (i < Points.Count - 1)
{
Sum1 = Sum1 + (Points.X * Points[i + 1].Y);
}
else
{
Sum1 = Sum1 + (Points.X * Points[0].Y);
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < Points.Count; i++)
{
if (i < Points.Count - 1)
{
Sum2 = Sum2 + (Points.Y * Points[i + 1].X);
}
else
{
Sum2 = Sum2 + (Points.Y * Points[0].X);
}
}
return (Sum1 - Sum2) / 2;
}

Hello,
CAD .NET doesn't have ready-to-use Area and Perimeter functions. However, you can implement them yourself. For example, you could use ready-to-use api DPoint.Distance

Code: Select all

double distance_between_points = DPoint.Distance(point1, point2);

to get the distance between points and then calculate the sum of all the distances to get the perimeter of the closed LW Polyline.
As for the Area. You can calculate the area of a closed LW Polyline by using polygon area formulas (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_formula). To get information about vertexes, please, use

Code: Select all

CADLWPolyLine vLWPolyline = new CADLWPolyLine();
   CADEntityCollection vertices = vLWPolyline.Vertexes;

Best regards,
Catherine.
