Generating Report from blocks?

Is there any way that you can generate a report in AutoCAD saying how many of a certain block got inserted into a specific drawing?

Depending on what exactly you are looking for there are several ways to get a report.

BCOUNT will produce a list of all the blocks in a drawing and the quantity of each. You can then copy paste this from the command window into a table.

Lee Mac has written a LISP routine that has enhanced the capabilities of the BCOUNT command. But since I see that you are using LT, that is not an option (LT does not support LISP).

If all the blocks that you want counted have attributes, you can also do an export attributes (ATTOUT). This will send the attributes to a CSV text file that you can use with Excel to get your quantities and list of blocks.

Good luck.

I've tried typing in BCOUNT and ATTOUT in the command line and it says its unknown command

Try DATAEXTRACTION You can generate a detailed excel report with this including attributes, properties, measurements, etc...

Sorry about that, turns out, both bcount and attout are express tools commands. Express tools are another set of commands that are not supported by LT.

Do you have another license available or are you limited to 2010 LT?

I am limited to 2010 LT since work is too cheap to buy the full blown version since we got new computers.
