We had a an issue where we had large grass areas with stepping stone pathways (18k sf of grass, 1k sf of stepping stone.) what we did was hatch the pline with LFX, break the association, then trim the hatch out of the stepping stone placements. this was never an issue at first, but after several tries redoing these areas tradionally with LFX and trimming, and it not quantifying - I had to do a manual area calc. I think this (breaking associated hatch and trimming) caused whatever data LFX needed to quantify to go corrupt, for smaller areas this was never an issue. I eventually found a workaround, so now I'm un able to replicated the issue. weird.

In your AutoCAD Properties window, the Hatch object probably no longer has an Area property.
Something about the trimming has probably resulted in a self-intersecting boundary.

There is not going to be an easy solution for an area of that size, doing it manually probably makes more sense than having to click on that many stepping stones individually.
