I'm trying to create new field with field calculator and fill it with area
of features. But I can't use units differ from layer units.[[BR]]
[[BR]]
If set 'Enable on the fly CRS transformation' and choose Settings ->
Options -> Map tools and set 'Preferred measurements units' to Meters then
using Identify Features tool it is possible to get areas of features in
square meters.[[BR]]
It will be great to realise such function in Fields Calculator.
