gEDA-user: Calculating component area verses available board area?

2009-12-01 Thread Bob Paddock
In PCB is there a way to get a sum of all of the component footprint/silk areas, so that the sum can be compared to the available board surface area? Board surface needs to account for any keep-outs where components can not be place. May or may not want to count both sides of the board. Boss is
