Hi center map doesn't work for me
How do you use the blocks?
Hi KevinKun.
I want to ask you a DETAIL of this extension or if you know about this.
I have searched in generally and i didn't find any solution for this."a contours maps" app, not google or microsoft, provide a way to make it from what i search it.
The contours lines are lines of same ALTITUDE and the utility is for Geography-Geology and Military, maybe there are other uses but this are all i know for sure.
Thanks.

Is there an aia file through which I can learn how to use extension blocks?
creating points and polygons and polylines by clicking
for polyline or poligon, you need a list of locations.
My 1st trial to draw Polyline from Pushpin locations list ( It didn't work )
My 2nd trial to draw Polygon from Pushpin points list ( It succeeded, but it requires several steps to draw the polygon not in one step by click )
Is there a direct, quick block to calculate the area of a polygon ?
so how do you know the locations of the polygon?
as for the area of polygon, i need to check if there is a native function in Bing map.
All I want to do something like this in video
on map
Overlay Button to draw points
When click on any shape
The app show its properties (area + perimeter or length )
I can do only ( overlay Button to draw Points )
What about Drawing Polygons and Polylines buttons directly by click like app in the attached Video
you can drag the pushpin to change the corner of the polygon.
If you want additional function in this extennsion to calculate the area of the polygon, and you are willing to sponsor this function, you can pm me.
