Just launch the AREA command and select "Add area", then "Object", and start clicking on the objects. It will list each area as you select it, highlight the selected object so you don't click it twice, and give you the sum at the end.

In complicated shaped hatches and large drawings, it is too difficult to creat boundaries by polylines, hench this pratice is not easy way to calculate area.

The easiest way is to upload applications which can be created by user define option in autocad.

By this way, sum of areas of complicated shaped hatches can be easily calculated just by one selection.
