Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out the area of each pattern piece, is this possibly in the software? I don't need the yield but the area of a pattern piece so I can know how much yarn to order exactly to knit a garment.

  Hi drudgls. I ran some tests inside CLO to see if we can extract the area of each piece. I couldn't. Maybe someone else has a way of doing it inside CLO. I myself export the DXFs and work in an external CAD software that has the marker making tools which allows me to calculate area of each piece and the efficiency of a cut marker and many more things. You can give it a try at padsystem.com

  I hope this helps.
