BCOUNT / ARRAY

sotelo_aaron — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 15:21:36 GMT

Dear users:

With greetings that may have a time in sight I have problems with the following:

I´m a user of AutoCAD version 2018 and the command "BCOUNT" does not work as it should when the objects are inside an "ARRAY" because it does not recognize the objects that are implicit in it.

He found a solution via "LISP" but he only gave me the name that generates its automatic form when creating the “block / ARRAY” and not the one of the objects that compose it.

Is this normal?

I hope not to offend anyone with my written English, it's very bad.

Best Regards

Aaron Sotelo

Hi and Welcome to AutoCAD Forum,

BCOUNT command will not count blocks used in array command. BUT you can get it by EATTEXT command ( page 8 / 8 ) .

It doesn't count those Blocks because an associative Array is an "Array object" and not a set of Block objects. If you can live with the Array not being associative, you can EXPLODE it and the Blocks [and anything else in it] will revert to being independent, and can be counted. Or you can make an array non-associative when you draw it, either by turning that off with the ASsociative option in the ARRAY command, or with the -ARRAY [with hyphen prefix] command in 2018 [the ARRAYCLASSIC command will do it in earlier versions].
