If you want to know how to do something in MicroStation, or if you've found a cool tip or trick that you'd like to share, you've come to the right place. MicroStationTips.com is a forum for MicroStation users and CAD Managers to share tips, tricks and how-tos. It is a platform for savvy users to share their bounty of knowledge with peers.
I put this one to The Grand Council of MicroStation Mice and here is their answer:
"There is no measurement option for measuring area in acres directly as a MicroStation tool or setting. With that said however, it would not be difficult for someone to write a vba which could do this on the fly since it is a simple matter of converting the square master unit area of a closed element by a standard conversion factor to acres and then outputing the result in a message field or dialog box for the user."
So try this one and do let me know how you fare!
Love, whiskers & cheese,
