I just tested it and works perfectly, I wish I had a hat to take of to you. Thank you so much!

Here's v1.4 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=373717#p373717
The correct interpretation of UTF8 accented characters etc in customized area-tags has now been resolved.

Wow, that was quick and effective. Now it works beautifully, thanks a lot!

I am having some trouble exporting to cvs though, the only contents of the exported file is "LAYER,TEXT,PERIM,AREA,UNITS". Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I think I have followed the instructions properly (save as and then export to cvs). I am attaching you the skp file used in my tests.

Hi again,
I noticed the behaviour you described and was about to post about it when I saw your comment.
One more thing about the exported cvs file if I may: as you can see I am using the following structure for the labels: label name, a new line and the area. The exported cvs outputs exactly this, in the form of "LABEL NAME\n<>", which does not seem very clean. What I can do is run a "find and replace" operation for "\n<>" in LibreOffice and delete it, but imo it would be cleaner if that information was not in the cvs exported file.

Thanks for looking into this.

Do you mean creating a text label through Tools > Text? If so then yes, accents are displayed just fine.

Thank you for such a useful plugin, TIG.
I am having some trouble with accents though, take a look at the screenshot, it should read "HABITACIÓ 1 ..." "HABITACIÓ 2..." and "DISTRIBUÏDOR". Should I change any setting to adjust the text language or character set?

One possibility is that I introduce a "refresh" option to update all labels. Maybe I'll do it in a next release.

Thanks for the suggestion

You are most welcome. A refresh button but be ideal in my opinion.
I never expected the labels to be updated automatically anyway since that would probably have a negative impact on performance (just wild gessing).

NEW RELEASE: ReportLabelArea 2.0a - 19 Dec 11

ReportLabelArea is a rework of the previous ReportArea standalone plugin. It provides:

• More visual features for Reporting and Browsing for Areas
• Creation, update and Edition of labels with Areas
• Area formatting (choice of unit and decimals) for all functions

There are two videos to give an idea of the main features of the plugin

ReportLabelArea is now published as part of the FredoTools suite of Plugins

See main post of this thread for more information.

Is there any way to automatically update existing labels if the area has changed? I could not find a way to do so, but perhaps I am missing something

Thanks for such an amazing plugin btw.
