I wrote a new post for the Autodesk Community Voices Blog... this time, I covered an AutoCAD tip derived from one of my AutoCAD books:)
Tracking the room area in AutoCAD is often done using simple text that does not update when the size of the room changes. However, it is possible to insert a special type of text that can update to keep the information current when (not if) changes are made.

Hint... this involves an inserted field that references a selected polyline.
