Area of a shape in Illustrator CC

[kelseyholden]

Hello,

Is there a way to calculate the Area of any give shape in Illustrator CC?  I have not been able to come across anything surprisingly.  Hope someone can help!

Thanks!

I had come across this method on other sites but it seemed confusing due to vague instructions...

This post made it super easy

Thanks a lot!

You can add script  to do that.

I have tried creating the script file a few times, but each time get the error message below when I go to run the scrip inside Illustrator. I am using Illustrator CC2019 on an Apple Mac, any ideas/help!?

you need to save the file as Plain Text format, instead of the Rich Text you have now.
