Area
The Area tool calculates and displays the area of a selected polygon, circle, or ellipse.
The default measurement is displayed in square centimetres. You can change its precision by using
Numerical Edit in the Display toolbox.
You can add a comment to the measurement immediately after creating it by typing the text. See
" Comments" in the chapter "Using the Display Toolbox" for more information on adding a comment
to a numerical value.

Moving measurements

The measurement moves with the object it measures
unless you pull it away. When you pull it away from the
object, the measurement momentarily resists before
pulling away.
