I guess I'm just missing something but can Solidworks figure
out the area of an enclosed sketch. I know I could extrude it and
measure the face. What I'm looking to do is find the area of a
sketch on a drawing view. The closed profile is elaborate so I'm
using convert edges of model parts in an assy dwg to create the
sketch. I thought this would be easy. Thanks in advance.
Go to tools, section properties. It seems to give the properties for all closed sketch loops in the selected view.
