AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009 DWG Format

BCOUNT tool is not working.

I type it and CAD doesn't recognize it as a command.

How do I get it back?

Hi,

BCOUNT is a command from the express-tools. So you haven't them installed or they are not loaded (they won't get loaded it the support-path to the ExpressTools-directory is not added).

The express tools pull down does show up when I have opened CAD.

Does that mean it's loaded?

I'll check under options and tools, but in the meantime please let me know what to do.

Thanks!

Hi,

That means that the menu from the express-tools is loaded, not that the tools themselfes are loaded.

If you click to any of the commands within this menu-group and you get the message like "unknown command" then the ExpressTools are not loaded.

>> [...] let me know what to do

Start _OPTIONS, go to tab "Files", within the first group for support-path add one path for the express tools (you will have first to scan through your AutoCAD-installation folder that you have a folder "Express" and there are files in it).

Check this screenshot (for 2013, so you must use your paths for 2007)

Ok, so I thought I repathed the file to the correct location.

Then I shut CAD down and restarted but BCOUNT is still not working.

Thoughts?

Ok, got it! Oddly enough it was pathed on our network and when I repathed it to the local drive it worked.

Thanks!!!
