Count table with image of block

[aharrisonF8JWH]

Hello. Is there a way to get the count table to show the block preview next to the line. I am creating multiple legends and don't want to manually place the block next to each line. So that it gives the same look as the legend tool in Bluebeam.

Thank you in advance!

sounds like you need Lee Mac's Block Counter:

This doesn't fully work as I dont want to have to click each individual block to count.

Are you sure? The lisp allows you to select your objects with a window (just like in the video) and other selection method that does not involve selecting each single object, even an "automatic count".

Let us know how this tip failed to meet your needs in a lot more detail please.

The window method will select other blocks. I have tried the other method but I have not figured it out yet.

When using autocads count table I am using the tool 'count specified area' as I need each 30 apartments to have separate counts. I know I can insert a column and go into each cell in the table to insert a block but there must be a way that it will do this automatically to match the block listed in the table. Pretty much Lee Mac's table but ability to select object or area to count between.

If I may ask, how do you "count specific area" is you are not windowing? What method are you opting into using? And yes, COUNT command is limited, you can't truly make it work differently.

You just need someone to help you edit that LISP for other selection methods, otherwise is does all that you want, correct? You can ask that very specific question in the dedicated LISP forum over here

For this I have placed a rectangle around each apartment, use count list- then click count in a specified area- object- click the rectangle. 

I will give that forum a try thank you!
