This is a download page. There is a file called macros.zip on this page. It contains a macro called acre.ba and acre.bas. The macro is used by measuring an area with the standard area tool and then running the macro. A small dialog box will come up with two buttons. When he clicks the one called acre it will convert the last measurement in MicroStation to acres and then start the place text command with the active text settings. It displays with two decimal places of accuracy and a label of "<number>AC."
