Can't you select the two parallel lines, sort the endpoints, and use AT:AreaFromPoints to get the area?

I don't understand how you are creating the polygon.
But that is what you want the area of?

Or are you trying to determine the position of the parallel line based on a set area?

Lee Mac , correct master

example:
1 - (getpoint) point 1 = p1
2 - (getpoint) point 2 = p2
3 - (getpoint) first address = p3
4 - (getpoint) second address p4
5 - Enter the area to calculate: eg 15000
6 - calculate 2 new items to the area indicated, using the pt1 to pt2 parallel

thanks for your patience
climb another clear example

very handy if this could be done, I always resort to offsetting a little at a time.

Very perceptive of you Lee.  8-)

Given the end points of two lines and the area desired it should not be too difficult to do.
I think I remember a similar thread.

No time this morning but I'm sure someone will offer a solution.
