Calculate surface area with Dimension tool
With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?

The team has started working on this request. As a first step they want to understand the requirements correctly and build the right feature set based on the feedback gathered.

Frank, there are two separate existing requests about this:
one asks to calculate the area specifically for the Dimension tool, so that we can stamp the art on canvas — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41789197
another one is about having this information for each selected object automatically, like in the Document Infor panel (with the Objects option selected in the panel’s menu — right now it has only the length, not the area) — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/38673499
Which one do you feel I should merge this new request into?
