jagape Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is there a command that will count how many times a block is used within a drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea1307 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 not sure if there is one but pretty sure a lisp could do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 try BCOUNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagape Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 When I try BCOUNT it only counts the block I click on as 1. Isn't there a command that will count all of the uses of that one block. I know my speaker symbol is used approx 150+ times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Press ENTER when AutoCAD prompts you for a block. It will count *all* of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Watch the command line, after starting BCOUNT simply type ALL, enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If that is not enough for you: use a Lisp to count the clicked blocks, save their insertion points and attributes in an Excel file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 or you can QSELECT the block with its name, then go to the properties palette and it will show you how many are selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjonp Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Be aware that bcount will not account for dynamic blocks that have been modified (*Ublahblah). Take a look here: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=28660.msg342865#msg342865 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
