Counting multiple blocks

[craigp]

I have recently done a plan of a cabin full of lockers. Instead of counting them all one by one is there a way the AutoCAD could count these blocks itself for me. They are all the same sizes if this helps!

This technique is simple and just requires that you know the name of the block.

1. Tools>Quick Select...
2. Set Object Type to "Block Reference"
3. Set Properties to "Name"
4. Set Value to your block name
5. Click the OK button
6. The number of selected objects is shown on the command line

or even quicker if you have express tools is BCOUNT
