Dynamic Block

[Mike2011]

I created several dynamic blocks to aid me in designing a

project and put them into a tool palette. I can drag them

into my drawing and all of the dynamic functions I included

work as expected. However, when I use the BCount command

to list what is in the drawing, a message is returned instead

that says no valid objects have been selected. I have used

dynamic blocks countless times before and thought I had

created these new ones in the same way. What did I do

wrong?

 

Thanks

can you post the file?

I don't normally use bcount. But I just tried it on a drawing with the same conditions as you mention and it worked.

Just guessing without seeing exactly what you are doing, but if you are running bcount from a script or lisp, look to see if you have included an extra "enter" after the command. That is needed to "select all". Also, if you explode the block, bcount won't see it if I remember correctly.

Attached is the drawing file. The blocks are simple ones used to

construct shelving rows and oriented in the drawing as I created

them. If you use BCount as they are shown, it will work. If you

rotate the blocks 90 degrees, BCount won't recognize them.
