Hi David,
The macro is coming together well. Some items to note:
The text size created for labels is very small and doesn't match the existing text size settings used in the Text menu. Screenshot below:
If the printer scale is changed to adjust the relative text size and further spaces and labels generated the label text size remains micro size. The screen shot shows standard text indicator at size 3.5 (light mgta) and the text label in the centre (white) which when Identified gives text size=0.
When generating an open side shape using contour, the macro didn't crash.
I'm unsure whether this is feasible with a macro; currently, opening the macro will force labels to update so if a space has changed the area will automatically update. Consider adding an icon that can be floating or docked into the menu's that when selected, updates the labels so areas are made current to reflect changes. The ideal situation is to have dynamic readouts so the areas update as the space is changed, but I assume this is beyond the capabilities of the macro.
If I use Move text, and move a label so it sits outside the space, then Update labels, the text updates but remains located outside the space. Is it worth adding a feature where a user can tick so labels reposition back inside the spaces?
