use to have a block count file that would list all blocks in a dwg. and give
the quantity of each block. Building systems3 does not use blocks, its all
devices. Is there a way to list all the "devices" within a dwg specifying
"system names", "style names" as well as quantity?

Hi Wick!
I don't really know how you want the result
presented or how your block count file worked. Do you want an external file
that shedules all your devices or is it enough to have them presented in the
dwg? If so have you tried to use the property
set definitions and shedule table functions to create a table in the drawing?
If you do so you can right-click on the table and exprt the info to a txt or a
xls file.
commands:
aecstylemanager - documentation objects -
property sets and shedule tables, (add a property set that applies to devices
and that includes the automatic properties: style and system, then create a
new shedule style that applies to devices, with the columns style and system +
check the include quantity column)
apply the propertyset to all your devices through
the properties pallette - extended data tab
tableadd - choose your table style - include all
devices - add your shedule
table
If you want to just extract info of all the
devices directly to a txt file or something you will probbably need to write a
vba macro or something.
Please let me know a bit more of what you
need and I'll try to help you.

to sound ignorant, I just started using "Building Systems" and I have no idea
how to do what you are sugesting, but it sounds like there is no easy way to
count devices in a drawing. I dont need to put this info into a table, but I
need it to get a basic count for reference. The only other way that I know of
is to print out the drawing and count each individual device. This can take
hours and there is the possibility of missing a
couple.
