block counter neeed for ADT 2004

[richardtk]

we need a block counter that will count blocks in ADT 2004. We are using multi view blocks for our large range of furniture. We have a program that has all our components listed, some 25,000 items fpr costing, we are drawing all these in AutoCAD at present, we need a customizable counter that will count or discount things we ask it to.

Each multi view block is made up of three individual blocks which make up the 3 common views, plan, elevation and 3d. We need to have the counter look at say just the block names ****_plan and count it and any nested blocks with in it... typically a block is called 310001_plan and may contain other blocks making up the legs, structure etc

can you help ??

When I type (setq e (entget (car (entsel "\nSelect MVBLOCK")))) on an MVBlock I get:


Select MVBLOCK((-1 . <Entity name: 40fe16f0>) (0 . "AEC_MVBLOCK_REF") (330 .

I think each block is split up separate.

Have you tried using quick select for the time being?
